proxmox-backup-debug diff archive of snapshots with the change-detection-mode "metadata" option

[fraroy]

Hello,

I'm trying to compare two snapshots of a host with the "proxmox-backup-debug diff archive..." utility. The host backups were performed with "change-detection mode" set at "metadata", which creates two didx files: .mpxar and .ppxar (instead of the single .pxar without this option).

- when specifying "archivename.pxar" operand to proxmox-backup-debug, it complains file "archivename.pxar.didx" can not be found in the snapshot directory.

- when specifying "archivename.mpxar" (or "archivename.ppxar") operand to proxmox-backup-debug, it returns: "Only .pxar files are supported".

Question: Was "proxmox-backup-debug" enhanced in the latest releases to support the mpxar/ppxar files produced by the "metadata" option ? If so, the exact release when this support was addedd would be helpfull.

N.B. the pbs server is currently running version 3.3-1, and I saw the utility has a lot more options in the current doc (4.2), but not indication about this "feature", nor in the release notes.

Thanks in advance,

François
