Hi!

I am trying to mount backup (VM 200):

proxmox-backup-client mount vm/200/2021-05-29T08:16:14Z root.pxar /mnt/backup

but I get an error:

Error: manifest does not contain file 'root.pxar.didx'

Am I doing something wrong?

proxmox-backup: 1.0-4 (running kernel: 5.4.106-1-pve) proxmox-backup-server: 1.1.5-1 (running version: 1.1.5) pve-kernel-5.4: 6.4-1 pve-kernel-helper: 6.4-1 pve-kernel-5.4.106-1-pve: 5.4.106-1 ifupdown2: 3.0.0-1+pve3 libjs-extjs: 6.0.1-10 proxmox-backup-docs: 1.1.5-1 proxmox-backup-client: 1.1.5-1 proxmox-mini-journalreader: 1.1-1 proxmox-widget-toolkit: 2.5-2 pve-xtermjs: 4.7.0-3 smartmontools: 7.2-pve2 zfsutils-linux: 2.0.4-pve1

you can only 'mount' backups that are made from files and contain 'pxar' archives, what you can do with image (vm) backups is 'map'
Code:
proxmox-backup-client map <snapshot> <archive-name> ...

Sorry, but I cannot understand what is meant as an <archive-name> in context "proxmox-backup-client map"
Documentation and "man proxmox-backup-client" didn't enlighten me :(

This is what a command could look like:
Code:
proxmox-backup-client map vm/117/2021-01-04T03:00:55Z drive-scsi0.img --repository root@pam@localhost:8007:store02
The <snapshot> is vm/117/2021-01-04T03:00:55Z, the <archive-name> is drive-scsi0.img which is how your disk in the VM is called. You can check how yours is called in the GUI when you expand a snapshot folder or via the CLI.
The --repository is optional, you can also set your repository via environment variables.
