Description

QCOW image access helps tools inspect, recover, or mount QEMU copy-on-write disk images. It is useful for virtualization workflows, forensic analysis, backups, and data extraction from virtual machines.

This package includes library and tool support. Mounted or modified disk images may contain private files or boot data, so work on copies when possible and avoid writes to evidence or production images.
