Mounting of Archives via FUSE
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The :term:`FUSE` implementation for the pxar archive allows you to mount a
file archive as a read-only filesystem to a mountpoint on your host.
.. code-block:: console
# proxmox-backup-client mount host/backup-client/2020-01-29T11:29:22Z root.pxar /mnt
# ls /mnt
bin dev home lib32 libx32 media opt root sbin sys usr
boot etc lib lib64 lost+found mnt proc run srv tmp var
This allows you to access the full content of the archive in a seamless manner.
.. note:: As the FUSE connection needs to fetch and decrypt chunks from the
backup servers datastore, this can cause some additional network and CPU
load on your host, depending on the operations you perform on the mounted
filesystem.
To unmount the filesystem simply use the ``umount`` command on the mountpoint:
.. code-block:: console
# umount /mnt

`FUSE`_
Filesystem in Userspace (FUSE) defines an interface which allows to
implement a filesystem in userspace as opposed to implementing it
in the kernel. The fuse kernel driver handles filesystem requests and
sends them to an userspace application for reply.
