I daily backup my virtual Nethserver running under Proxmox Virtual Environment (PVE) to a Proxmox Backup Server (PBS). I tried to figure out howto restore a single file from my Backups.
Please test it and give us a feedback if it worked for you?
Login to your Proxmox PVE Server, the Name of my Storage under PVE is pbs01.
Edit:
Make sure libguestfs-tools are installed under Proxmox VE:
apt-get install libguestfs-tools
List all Backups:
proxmox-backup-client list --repository root@pam@<Proxmox-Backup-Server-IP>:8007:pbs01
┌────────┬─────────────────────────────┬──────────────┬────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐

Map the Backup:
proxmox-backup-client map vm/104/2021-01-03T17:21:21Z drive-scsi0.img --repository root@pam@<Proxmox-Backup-Server-IP>:8007:pbs01

├─loop0p1 259:0 0 1G 1 part
└─loop0p2 259:1 0 249G 1 part
Scan VGs:
lvscan
...
inactive '/dev/VolGroup/lv_root' [246.99 GiB] inherit
inactive '/dev/VolGroup/lv_swap' [2.00 GiB] inherit
Change VGs to active:
vgchange -ay
...
2 logical volume(s) in volume group "VolGroup" now active
Scan VGs again:
lvscan
...
ACTIVE '/dev/VolGroup/lv_root' [246.99 GiB] inherit
ACTIVE '/dev/VolGroup/lv_swap' [2.00 GiB] inherit
Create mountpoint:
mkdir /media/snapshot
Mount it readonly with:
guestmount -m /dev/VolGroup/lv_root -r -a /dev/loop0p2 /media/snapshot/
Do what you have to do, e.g. list ibays :
ls -alih /media/snapshot/var/lib/nethserver/ibay
Unmount it with:
umount /media/snapshot/
Deactivate VolGroup:
vgchange -a n VolGroup

Will be tested - as soon as my next batch of hardware arrives…

Yes, I do. I have three clients using the Microserver Gen10.

Is there a missing step?

Hello lira_rospionne and welcome to the nethserver-community!
Usually at this point you should see inactive VGs e.g.:
The next step would be to activate it all with:
You then should do these steps:
Don’t forget to install the libguestfs-tools to be able to guestmount…

Maybe xfs is the reason?
it seems it’s LVM:https://lists.proxmox.com/pipermail/pve-user/2021-April/172556.html
but I have also a VM with xfs data disk (without partition) and can not access to it, i should try an xfs disk with one partition

Looks like a BUG: proxmox-backup-file restore cannot mount xfs

It looks like Proxmox Web interface for Single File Restore hasn’t got national language symbols support at all
proxmox-backup-client map and guestmount shows cyrillic names OK.
@EAnsy
Hi
Welcome to the NethServer forum!
As said, this is the NethServer Forum. I don’t quite see what Proxmox Backup Server together with NTFS language support (For Windows) has to do with NethServer?
A lot of people here do use Proxmox and also PBS, myself included, but if you have any requests about PBS, it would be better to go to the PBS forum…
PBS itself does support russian (and cyrillic), as I can see on my home node…
Maybe not yet 100%, but that is more likely due to a lack of contributions by cyrillic language speakers… There are a lot of languages, but I also do not see serbo-croatic, another also cyrillic language…

it works now (but only if at least 1 partition is detected)
NTFS, can’t see cyrillic file names or directories. Very sad and frustrating.
