Can't view files in VM file restore

[chrigiboy]

Hello,
I can't restore files from Backup.
When I click on "file restore", I can't view any subfolders or download anything. The only thing that I see is drive-sata0.img.fidx (it is 3TB large)

How can I view subfolders in order to download one particular file only, without having to restore all of the 3TB drive?

Here is a screenshot of how it looks:

This is an image (actually the index file, which references to the chunks of the image), which contains the whole drive and you will have to restore the whole drive.

Where did you open that? On Proxmox VE I assume?
Does the disk have any partitions?

The file restore feature starts a very small Linux VM that scans the backed disk image for partitions and supported file systems.

But i don't want the whole drive. I only need 1 single file.
It's an old Debian system. I do not understand, why I can't get the files.
