Locate virtuozzo container backups?

[JacksonY]

Hey,

We have backup some containers and they are all in vz/backup/. However, how can we know which container's backup is in which folder?

Hi,

I'm not sure of an inbuilt command within Virtuozzo to do this but I use :

grep 94d9bf82-e526-3443-80a0-a6c6b90d7dd1 /vz/private/*/.vza/eid.conf | awk -F/ '{print $4}'

This returns the container ID (assuming you're using default paths and such like).

There's probably something that does this within the API too, but depending on how you want to use it thats possibly overkill

Is it possible the other way around? From a container ID to find the backup name?

[paulieG]

Sure, thats all the eid.conf file contains.

cat /vz/private/CTID/.vza/eid.conf

However, i think vzarestore can you tell you this too.

It's quick and nasty but just change the container id in this one liner:

printf "%s%s\n" "$(vzabackup --view-folder localhost 2>&1 | sed -ne 's|^ path = \([^[:space:]]\+\)|\1|p')" $(cat /vz/private/<CTID>/.vza/eid.conf)

If you don't want to parse the backup folder location it's just:

printf "%s%s\n" <backup folder path> $(cat /vz/private/<CTID>/.vza/eid.conf)

Cheers,

Thanks. That is useful.

Parallels should have easier tools for us to identify the backups.. what if we need to do a bare-metal backup?

Btw, I have located the backup folder.

But I need to restore this backup to a brand new VPS container. How could it be done? It is like a bare-metal restore from the container backup on the same server.
