I'm using TrueNAS Core 13, and I have set up cloud sync with BackBlaze B2, using the client-side encryption option in TrueNAS cloud sync. I've done some test restores to test datasets, and everything works properly. However, I can't figure out any way to browse the files in the cloud or restore a small number of files. (All I can do is restore the entire dataset). In BackBlaze's web browser, of course, all I see is encrypted file names, which doesn't do any good as I don't even know which file is which.
So, the setup I have is great for disaster recovery, after a future fire or flood where I lose my physical NAS. That's great as far as it goes. However, it doesn't help if I want to restore one or a handful or files or directories. One of my production datasets is over 2TB, and there's no way I'd want to restore the entire thing from BackBlaze just to recover one or a handful of files. Not only would it take a while, but there are download charges with BackBlaze.
So, does anyone know a way to browse or restore a small number of files after a cloud sync done with client-side encryption? Perhaps TrueNAS Core has a way to do this out of the box. Alternatively, since I believe that TrueNAS uses Rclone for cloud sync, perhaps there's a third-party add-on for TrueNAS Core or a tool that I could use on a Linux or Windows machine to browse the files in the cloud.
