Hi!

Some time ago I was able to mount the PBS backups with following command:

proxmox-backup-client mount ct/300/2020-11-15T00:11:02Z root.pxar /mnt/pbsrestore/

I tried this today, but there are no longer "root.pxar" files in the backup, only "root.pxar.didx" files.
When I try to mount these, I get following error message:

root@pxh1:~# proxmox-backup-client mount ct/401/2021-01-29T04:12:18Z roo.pxar.didx /mnt/pbsrestore Error: Can only mount/map pxar archives and drive images.

Is there a way to mount this backups?

Thank you

it works for me. The GUI shows the root.pxar.didx files, but if I mount with root.pxar it shows the files
 
the .didx suffix is the (Dynamic) index file - the actual backed up file is the one without that suffix ;)
