[SOLVED] How to mount backups? No *pxar files in my datastore.

[edocod]

Hello!
Looking at the documentation and at this thread, it looks like i can mount ".pxar" files that correspond to backups stored on my system.

However, i only have *.didx files in my system. I can see through the interface, explore and download individual files off them, but i couldn't find a way to get a proper mount to mass copy files.

Am i doing something wrong? I've tried looking at the whole datastore for pxar files, but i find none.

the .didx files represent the pxar archives (didx stands for dynamic index). the pxar archive does not exist as a file on the PBS side, it is stored as chunks. just use the client's mount command, it will load the index from the PBS server, and then load the chunks on-demand when you access files.

Thank you very much, it is clear now.

I missed this detail of the implementation and thought it all worked on actual files.
