I had a OVM 4 install running fine with a thumb drive as the OS drive. I was using the backup plugin to run fsarchiver which gave me a bunch of files *.blkid, *.fdisk, *.fsa, *.grub, *.grubparts, *.packages - the thumb drive crashed and I was trying to figure out what went wrong, eventually I just ended up reinstalling OVM 4 and was able to easily get my raid up and running without much issue just doing a whole new install - so I do not want to restore the entire backup I have, however there were some backup scripts I was working in my /root home folder that i would like to pull out of these backups that were created with the plugin.
Am I going to have to restore the backup to a disk some where, or is there a way for me to grab those files without having to do that?
For my future installs, think I will just rsync the root folder and take a KISS approach for the OS backup - as the ZFS raid came through the ordeal without a scratch - using the system backup seems overkill for my simple needs.
