and necessary services have been started, the VM is operational, while the

background task continues copying seldomly used data.

|

Single File Restore
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
The 'File Restore' button in the 'Backups' tab of the storage GUI can be used to
|
||||
open a file browser directly on the data contained in a backup. This feature
|
||||
is only available for backups on a Proxmox Backup Server.
|
||||
|
||||
For containers, the first layer of the file tree shows all included 'pxar'
|
||||
archives, which can be opened and browsed freely. For VMs, the first layer shows
|
||||
contained drive images, which can be opened to reveal a list of supported
|
||||
storage technologies found on the drive. In the most basic case, this will be an
|
||||
entry called 'part', representing a partition table, which contains entries for
|
||||
each partition found on the drive. Note that for VMs, not all data might be
|
||||
accessible (unsupported guest file systems, storage technologies, etc...).
|
||||
|
||||
Files and directories can be downloaded using the 'Download' button, the latter
|
||||
being compressed into a zip archive on the fly.
|
||||
|
||||
To enable secure access to VM images, which might contain untrusted data, a
|
||||
temporary VM (not visible as a guest) is started. This does not mean that data
|
||||
downloaded from such an archive is inherently safe, but it avoids exposing the
|
||||
hypervisor system to danger. The VM will stop itself after a timeout. This
|
||||
entire process happens transparently from a user's point of view.
