S3 Plus -restore single file from cloud

Post by paristotle »

I've added the S3 Plus app to our QNAP and configured backup to the S3. I tried doing a test restore of a single file but I can't do it from the cloud. I only have the option for selective file restore if I select 'from backup job' as the source. If I choose 'from cloud' as the source it seems to want to restore the whole backup. Is there a way to restore files from the Amazon S3 server?

Hi,

I've just encountered the same "oddity" with Hybrid Backup Sync with S3 compatible cloud storage at Wasabi.

The hint for the option "Metadata and data" vs. "Metadata only" says that if you restore metadata you can choose files to restore later. I'm trying a metadata only restore now, to see what happens.

Oh, it was finished now. After the metadata restore, another option appears: "Data only". Selecting that provides a folder tree where you can select folders to restore. But you can't select individual files, nor choose specific file versions.
