body: <p>How can I convert from Proxmox 5.x vzdump qemu virtual machine image to VMWARE or VirtualBox?</p>
  
  <p>I want to run the Virtual Machine what is created in Proxmox (KVM + Qemu maybe) in VMWARE ESXi or in VirtualBox.</p>
  
  <p>I tried to use qemu-img convert a.vma -O a.vmdk but made a not vaild format.
  Seems like need other tool or parameters.
  Also I have running Proxmox to export if needed.</p>
  
  <p>If you can help, how convert Proxmox's VMA ( <a href="https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/VMA" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/VMA</a> ) backup ( <a href="https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Backup_and_Restore" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Backup_and_Restore</a> ) to raw image, then to vmdk.</p>
