I need a file level recovery backup solution. I want backup the VM and then 'search' in the filesystem for a file level recovery (ex. ext2, ext3, fat32, ntfs, LVM ...)
For VMware the are some integrated solution, anyone known a solution for Proxmox/KVM ?
Thank for suggestions.

p.s. i am testing Proxmox 3.4.1 with Ceph
 
We use Backuppc for this things.
Thanks for your response but isn't exactly what we need.
Sorry, perhaps i don't express what we need clearly.
I look for a tool that read several vm disk image type (vmdk, qcow2, vhd, ...) from backup within Proxmox and then 'view' the filesystems inside (ext2,ext3, ntfs, so on ...) to the goal of restore some files.
Thanks for any new response !

Snapshot the vm, mount the snapshot of the image file, aim backuppc at it.
 
Not sure if that's what they're after.

Do you mean you want to mount an old backup and copy a file from there to the current disk? One thing you could do is extract the backup vma (resulting in a directory containing the vm's config and disks from that time), and mount it (using qemu-nbd to attach the disk).
Eg. if you have .vma.lzo files as backups you can extract them via: $ lzop -d -c ${the_backup_file} | vma extract -v /dev/stdin /target/directory/name
(Note that the target directory must not exist, but it'll tell you that as error anyway if it does.)
