Hello,

thanks for your reply, seems to be works only for .pxar

In my ProxmoxBackupServer, I have this files inside the VM backup:

client.log.blob
drive-scsi0.img.fidx
index.json.blob
qemu-server.conf.blob

The data is inside drive-scsi0.img.fidx

How can I open it from CLI?

proxmox-backup-client map should work

if you want a convenient way to access such backups (for common scenarios), you can try PVE's "file restore" feature. it will spawn a custom linux VM that mounts the backup and provides on-demand access to the contained file systems and files.

Hello

sometimes, "file restore" GUI, gone in timeout for this reason I asked to access to the same backup from CLI.

The solution of MAP, works fine.

Thanks

"proxmox-file-restore" is the corresponding CLI tool (it also does the same VM spawning for .fidx backups).
