I'm sure this used to work for me, so I'm likely doing something wrong.
I have backups in Wasabi created using Cloudberry Backup (now updated to MSP360, but I believe it's the same thing).
I want to browse these using Cloudberry Explorer PRO:
- I have created a new Wasabi storage account in Explorer with my access key and secret key.
- I have enabled compression and encryption in Explorer.
- I set the same encryption password as for Backup.
I now navigate in Explorer. But instead of seeing anything which looks like my local file structure (as I see in the "Backup Storage" pane in Backup), I see:
Root -> my.bucket.name -> CBB_HOSTNAME -> CBB_ARCHIVE -> e87cb169-ff5d-4fe0-9501-8543c0200e9f -> GEN-000000-09d3d426-ff47-44a4-807e-9632329394b1 -> [Lots of folders] -> [Files with strange names]
Root -> my.bucket.name -> CBB_HOSTNAME -> CBB_REPORT -> e87cb169-ff5d-4fe0-9501-8543c0200e9f.html$ -> [Lots of folders] -> [Lots of html files]
I can open the HTML files, and these are my CloudBerry Backup Reports. I can open these even if I disable encryption in Explorer, so presumably these aren't encrypted.
How do I make Explorer see my as-backed-up file structure? I'm expecting to see something like: F:\Multimedia\Photos (as I'm using it to backup my photos).
As I say, I'm sure this used to work, but I've not used Explorer for a long time (a couple of years I'm guessing). I've been putting the "forget" into "setup and forget"!
The New backup Format combines files into an archive file using a different format than the legacy file backup format. For that, and other reasons, we do not use the New backup format for data/file backups; only for Image and HYPERV VHDx file backups.
