Hello,

I haven't seen this feature in PBS 1.x and PBS 2.x yet.
Are you thinking of adding the possibility of to restore a file or folder directly in a VM or LXC ?

Best regards
 
Hi,

It's just that almost any backup software can restore files directly to your VM or CT rather than downloading it.

Hi,
check this: https://bugzilla.proxmox.com/show_bug.cgi?id=3501

That might answer your question :)
Even though I wouldn't have chosen scp (ssh) to do this. The request corresponds to my need. Because it seems very strange not to be able to do it. After PBS being recent, they probably haven't had the time to do that yet.

What interests me is to restore files with an option to overwrite the original files. Compatible with a VM / CT this is an essential feature of backup software.

Yeah that is what Thomas discussed in this, one approach would be trying to do this with the qemu guest agent. This is installed on basically all VMs anyway and doesn't require any more configuration.
