Summary

Add an AJAX-powered file browser that lets admins inspect the contents of a backup archive without extracting it. Show directory tree, file sizes, and modification dates.

Use Cases

  • Verify a backup contains expected files before restoring
  • Check if a specific file version exists in an older backup
  • Diagnose backup issues (empty archives, missing directories)

Implementation

  • Use ZipArchive::statIndex() / ZipArchive::getNameIndex() for ZIP files
  • Use PharData iterator for tar.gz files
  • Return JSON directory tree via AJAX endpoint
  • Render as expandable tree in a modal

Files

  • src/Controller/AjaxController.php — add browseArchive() method
  • tmpl/backup/default.php — add "Browse Contents" button
  • tmpl/backups/default.php — add browse icon in actions column
