Hi

I have a Linux server where I must restore 40Go of files. This server is hosted in a VM on PVE, and backuped on PBS. The backup file is encrypted by a key known by PVE administrator, but not the VM owner (so I can not deploy the backup-client on the VM). I don't want do download a 40G file on my laptop by VPN (thru the Proxmox WebUI)

I can use proxmox-backup-client to open a backup and mount the filesystem.
But how should I get the data from VM host ? Is there a documentation ? Should I install a NFS/CIFS/DAV on PBS to get the files from the host (but what about security) ?
I am sure you already imagine a solution, but I don't see it in docs.
I can provide the backup to the host (a I am the PVE manager) but how the host user will access the data ?

Thanks !
