I have a simple impossible task, to restore
/var/root/Library/Application Support/multipassd/qemu/vault/instances/gcc-cobol/ubuntu-22.04-server-cloudimg-arm64.img
as of 8:02 Saturday morning. Because /var/root is owned by, well, root, the usual techniques don't work.
This is a VM image hosted by qemu via Canonical's Multipass.
ISTM the strategy would be to first mount the NAS filesystem and then use tmutil(8) to list the backups and recover the file. But
$ sudo mount -v -o rdonly -t smb //nasa.local/TimeMachine /usr/local/mnt/
mount: exec /Library/Filesystems/smb.fs/Contents/Resources/mount_smb for /usr/local/mnt: No such file or directory
mount: /usr/local/mnt failed with 72
Must I defeat SIP to do this?
