+# REF: https://www.reddit.com/r/Proxmox/comments/1cqr0xj/pve_host_installed_on_new_disk_how_to_import_vms/
+
+So I installed PVE host on a new disk and imported the ZFS disk with all my
+VMs to this new installation.  I can see the disk and VM disks showing under
+storage.  So far so good.
+
+Now how do I go about restoring the VM? I dont have whole backup
+
+=====
+
+narrateourale
+
+Did you back up the VM configs located at /etc/pve/qemu-config?
+
+If not, then create new VMs, match the VMID to the old one.  Dont create
+any disk and once the VM (or all) are created, run qm rescan on the shell. 
+It will search for disk images on the configured storages that match the
+VMID.  For each found disk image, it will create a new "unusedX" disk entry
+in the VM config.
+
+You can then edit these disks and finish the configuration.  Dont forget to
+update the boot order in the options of the VM!
+
+If your VMs have EFI and TPM disks, it can be a bit messy and you might want
+to create them from scratch.  Otherwise, editing the config files directly
+to change them from "unused0" to whatever config key is needed might be
+quicker.
