### Convert VM Disk from `.RAW` to `.QCOW2`
Given that the migration process via Veeam Backup & Replication ignores the destination disk format (at the time of writing this), it is necessary to convert the format of the disk from `.raw` to `.qcow2` so that you can perform things like VM snapshots, which are essential during updates, development, and testing.
Open a shell onto the ProxmoxVE server that is currently holding the VM that you need to convert the disks for, then locate the disks (this is not explained here, yet), and run the following commands to convert them.
```sh
# Convert a Single Disk
qemu-img convert -f raw -O qcow2 source.raw destination.qcow2
# Convert All Disks in a Given Directory
find . -type f -name "*.raw" -exec sh -c 'qemu-img convert -f raw -O qcow2 "$1" "${1%.raw}.qcow2"' _ {} \;
```
