Hi everybody,
does anyone can tell me if is it possible to mount a Proxmox LZO backup file as a filesystem?
I'd need it to restore single files or folders instead of recovering an entire disk image.
Restore Image to a different ID and add your restored HDD to your running VM (perhaps you need to shutedown and start again). Then simply copy the files you need.
Yes but I can't mount the image before extracting the LZO compressed file. Imagine that I should have a 500GB lzo compressed backup image and i have to recover only one single file. Every server backup solution (as, for example, Acronis) lets you to recover quickly a single file without needing a complete restore of the image.
well LZO is a simple compression. however, the actual backup image format is .vma - a format that the proxmox guys invented (http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2012-11/msg02126.html). Im afraid that this situation leads to there not being any way to interact with vma files apart from restoring them :/
