PBS datastore on Windows 10 via cifs, Backblaze Personal Backup for offsite backups

[kalleersej25]

Hi,
I've set up the new stable release of PBS with the datastore on a Windows 10 cifs share and it's working great. However it got me thinking, wouldn't I need to restore the entire volume/datastore if I ever needed to restore a VM older than my retention?
Could I/is there a way to only restore the required chunks for a VM from the off-site backup?

I've been pretty satisfied with running vzdump straight to a cifs share because it's all neatly wrapped in one image file, but I would like to use dedup and incrementals instead of daily fulls...

Yes, by catalog, just select what the Files/Folders need to restore then use restore-select to the mount file.
