[SOLVED] Restoring a single disk (solved command line)

[diaolin]

Hi folks,
i've many PVE installed anywhere and i have a simpler question with a difficult answer, i presume:

I've a container with multiple mountpoints

rootfs 8GB
/data 1,7TB
/var/log 1TB

the PBS works perfect

the question:

is there a way to restore only the rootfs for example withouth restoring the entire system?
Not via "Restore Files" obviously...

All disks are on lvm

Many thanks

Good evening,

I believe so, and this forum post includes good ideas for alternatives too. But to your point, "Restore files" should also allow you to download an entire virtual disk. For containers this would be a root.pxar.didix I believe. Login to PBS > Datastore > datastore-name > CT > folder > root.pxar.didix > Download (save icon). Then you can upload this back to any host if you'd like. You can save that horrendous double transfer by issueing the proxmox-backup-client tool (see the forum post with VM example), but be careful of course.

Currently, there is no way in the GUI to do this as far as I understand but my PBS is only 2.1 not 2.2 so I could be wrong.
