[SOLVED] Backup file

[Ali-istif]

Hi,
We have pbs.we want to the VM's backup file to desktop of PC from Pbs.
Can we use winscp ?
Also, the file looks very small when we look at it from winscp.
what we can do ?

thats not directly possible since the backups are not stored in a single file (like vzdump) but are stored in deduplicated chunks (in the .chunks folder of the datastore)
you could 'restore' the backup with proxmox-backup-client to a different directory though
