I have a Proxmox Backup Server making regular backups of a VM on another machine, and it works fine. But I find it hard to restore just a single file. According to the wiki, it's possible to restore a single file, but I can't find the "File Restore" button in the GUI?

I can do it via the command line:
$ proxmox-backup-client list --repository root@pam@192.168.1.106:8007:intenso $ proxmox-backup-client map vm/102/2022-08-28T07:15:02Z drive-scsi0.img --repository root@pam@192.168.1.106:8007:intenso $ lsblk $ lvscan $ vgchange -ay $ lvscan $ guestmount -m /dev/main/root -r --format=raw -a /dev/loop0p2 /media/snapshot $ ls /media/snapshot $ cp /media/snapshot/etc/missing.file /tmp $ umount /media/snapshot $ vgchange -a n main $ proxmox-backup-client unmap /dev/loop0
