how to download backup via cli?

[Kosh]

Hi!
After reading the documentation I could not find a solution
how can I download the img.fidx file via cli to the folder I need?

Hi!
you can download the raw archive using the `restore` command. For example like this:

proxmox-backup-client restore <snapshot> <archive-name> <destination-file>

To check out the files, you can use `map`:

proxmox-backup-client map <snapshot> <archive-name>

which maps the image to a device (most likely `/dev/loop0`). Then you can mount it using

mount /dev/loop0 /mnt/mountpoint

More info here: https://pbs.proxmox.com/docs/backup-client.html#restoring-data
and here: https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/e...ackup-images-for-file-level-restoring.136597/

Hi!
you can download the raw archive using the `restore` command. For example like this:

proxmox-backup-client restore <snapshot> <archive-name> <destination-file>

I see the files inside the archive using the command

proxmox-backup-client snapshot list --repository localhost:p3-custom-backup vm/2220

how can I download the drive-scsi0.img I need?


also using this command I see a list of files but I don’t understand how to download the file I need along the path say /tmp

proxmox-backup-client restore --repository localhost:p3-custom-backup vm/2220/2024-01-06T00:38:25Z index.json -

I don't need access inside this image, I need the image itself

Hi!
use the `restore` command, f.e.:

proxmox-backup-client restore --repository localhost:p3-custom-backup vm/2220/2024-01-06T00:38:25Z drive-scsi0.img /tmp/my.img

(we don't have a progress bar here yet, so you'll need to be a little patient (or you can use `PBS_LOG=debug` to enable the debug log))

I was one step away from making a decision
thanks for the help!

Hi
I'm asking you for help again
Is it possible to specify a login/password in the command so that it does not prompt for them?

Hi,

Is it possible to specify a login/password in the command so that it does not prompt for them?

this can be done by using environment variables:
https://pbs.proxmox.com/docs/backup-client.html#environment-variables

export PBS_PASSWORD='PASSWORD'
proxmox-backup-client snapshot list --repository localhost:Backup vm/117

Hi
Is there a possibility when restoring a file proxmox-backup-client restore --repository........
display progress status?
Now when restoring the status is not visible

Hi
Is there a possibility when restoring a file [CODE]PBS_LOG=debug proxmox-backup-client restore --repository[/CODE]........
display progress status?
Now when restoring the status is not visible

You can try the command using `PBS_LOG=debug` which will output more information (including a progress report).
For example:

PBS_LOG=debug proxmox-backup-client restore --repository
