Skip CRC Check When Restoring VM?

Hello All,

I am attempting to restore a VM from a PBS instance that has some amount of corruption in the underlying files. Output from a restore attempt is some version of this:

restore failed: Failed to parse chunk 227b051fe8856cdc6f60218a168e535bf0e3dcc207786eb1b7f4f92f6b416d29 - Data blob has wrong CRC checksum.

I would like to try bypassing the CRC check just to see what happens, understanding that it might fail and that the cause of the corruption needs to be addressed.

It doesn't appear that there is an option to bypass the CRC check in the GUI. I attempted to append --bypass-crc to the pbs-restore command that is generated by the GUI but that didn't work.

I'd prefer to not have to manually export the disks and then import them into a VM if there is some way to simply tell the system to ignore the errors during automated restoration.

Is this possible? If not, what is the closest recommended procedure?

Thanks for the help!
