[SOLVED] Corrupted file halts restore

[mbosma]

Hi,

I've been using pbs as a test for a while now.
I tried to restore a lxc container using pbs but it keeps failing with this error:
Error: error extracting archive - error at entry "cpdavd_error_log": failed to restore mtime attribute on "cpdavd_error_log": Operation not permitted (os error 1)

I already tried to restore the backup to a folder but it halts on the same error.
Mounting the backup results in this error while trying to access /var/:

# ls 169/var/
ls: reading directory '169/var/': Input/output error

The "cpdavd_error_log" file is somewhere in the /home folder which is a shame because I only needed /var/lib/mysql.

Is there any way to skip this broken file so the rest of the backup can complete or maybe restore a specific folder?
The only way right now would be to download every individual file from the webgui.

I'm using
Backup Server 0.8-21 BETA
client version: 0.8.19

If you need any information, please let me know.

hi,

we are working on this bug https://bugzilla.proxmox.com/show_bug.cgi?id=3026

if the backup wasn't encrypted, you can use the pxar file browser on the user interface to retrieve the files you need:
on backup server GUI go to Datastore -> Name of datastore -> find the container -> root.pxar.didx

you should see a folder icon next to the download icon, there you should be able to view the filesystem and download the files you need.

Thank you! That's what I wanted to know, glad to hear this is already a known issue.
I already restored the backup using our other backup strategy, I try to use pbs as much as possible for testing but it's not our only solution.

I was able to browse through the filesystem using the GUI, the issue there is that I can't download a folder or tree so downloading all the files is a pretty long and boring task.
