We're currently toying with PBS to possibly get it running for a backup solution but can't seem to get the File Restores to work.

Does not seems to support the file system. We prefer to use PVE and not CLI (if that is possible).

Is this feature supported?

See error in screenshot below. Criticism, advice and tips are welcome.


mounting 'drive-scsi0.img.fidx/part/1' failed: all mounts failed or no supported file system (400)

In your screenshot: did you try to drill down "3" by clicking the "+"? That's probably your "C:"-drive. And as long it is not encrypted it should show the usual "explorer view" with access to single files or directories.

Good luck :-)

Turns out once I "Validated" the backups, I managed to access them. Can see all the files. Just wish there was a way to live restore a file to it's previous directory instead of downloading the file and manually uploading it. Convenience:p
