Exactly what I thought it would be and nothing more - which is great, and
being able to pull files individually, not critical, but if I needed to pull
a file, or folder, or database, or something, and not interrupt the
production VM, I assume one could restore to a separate VM instance or to a
different VE node, boot it in isolation, extract the content required and
move it off to the prod VM?

One should be able to expect that in that month, many other items would have
also changed, if you get my drift...

It makes sense that it works at the hypervisor snapshot level - my Veeam does
that too - which is ideal! Veeam just gives me the ability to customise the
restore, even pull a single email out of the Exchange database should I need
to! Just wish it supported Proxmox - I'd already be using it :D

Again - I need to grab my proxmox box off the shelf and give it a whirl... I
just don't have the rack space, bench space, or the time right now to have a
play! 

Do you know if Proxmox has Dell OMSA support?
