Just added direct file level restore INTO the guest VM object in #PegaProx for #Proxmox VE based systems.
Directly restore files from backup to VMs in #Proxmox with #PegaProx!
No more awkward workflow where you first have to download the file to your local machine and then upload it back into the VM.
Requirements:
The initial implementation has a few requirements and limitations:<li>Backups must be stored on a Proxmox Backup Server. Local backups are currently not supported.</li><li>The VM must have the QEMU Guest Agent installed and enabled.</li><li>The VM must be running while the restore operation is performed.</li>
This feature probably takes place in version 1.4.0 which might make it right to the #Proxday. You can also meet Nico and me there!
