Recovering files from backup

export PBS_REPOSITORY=mypbs:mydatastore
proxmox-backup-client snapshot list

Output like: vm/109/2022-01-25T20:18:02Z │ 200.00 GiB │ client.log drive-ide0.img index.json qemu-server.conf

# proxmox-backup-client map vm/109/2022-01-25T20:18:02Z drive-ide0.img

mount /dev/loop0p3 /mnt/loop/

mount: /mnt/loop: cannot mount /dev/loop0p3 read-only.

mount -o loop,ro,norecovery /dev/loop0p3 /mnt/loop/

and that should be it. After you're done:

umount /mnt/loop
proxmox-backup-client unmap /dev/loop0

 

TBD: explain how t o use kpartx and friends to acces LVM volumes
