+
+============
+Full restore instructions: (You may want to print this or copy to text editor, or have it up in a web browser)
+
+You need to have downloaded:
+o Proxmox VE ISO installer - https://www.proxmox.com/en/downloads
+o Systemrescuecd  	   - https://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=systemrescue
+o Super Grub Disc (emergency fix boot) - https://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=supergrub
+
+o Also handy to have - Rescatux: https://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=rescatux
+
+Run the Proxmox installer from ISO / USB and recreate the LVM + ext4 root FS with appropriate disk size 
+
+Then, Boot systemrescuecd
+
+cd /tmp
+Fire up ' mc ' Midnight Commander
+
+Tab to right pane, Esc+9 (or F9) and SFTP to where your .fsa backup file(s) are
+
+SCP the appropriate restore script (EFI or NO-EFI) over to local /tmp and ' chmod +x ' it
+
+EDIT THIS SCRIPT (look for EDITME) and change the appropriate values to match your restore environnment
+
+Follow the sshfs HOWTO in the comment at the beginning of this script to mount your backup file storage
+
+cd /mnt/restore
+/tmp/$0 backupfilename.fsa # Start the restore
+
+After the restore finishes: From here you can still chroot into the /mnt/tmp2 dir and disable zfs imports, edit /etc/fstab, et al
+
+Shutdown, remove rescue media and it should reboot into Proxmox VE
+If not, boot Super Grub Disc and that should do it
+
+Once you have a PVE login prompt, you can login as root and reinstall grub
+' grub-install /dev/blah '
+
+and then do a test reboot to make sure everything comes up as expected.
