PBS supports full VM restore, Live Restore (start in 30 seconds), and single-file recovery without full restoration.
qmrestore pbs:backup/vm/100/2025-03-15T01:00:00Z 200 --storage local-lvm --unique 1
# Live Restore — VM available in 30 seconds
qmrestore pbs:backup/vm/100/... 200 --storage local-lvm --live-restore 1
Live Restore reduces RTO to ~30 seconds — the VM starts immediately while data continues restoring in the background.
