2.10.6. Attaching Backups to Virtual Machines and Containers

To read the contents of a virtual machine or container backup, you can attach it to a virtual machine or container as a virtual hard disk.

Note

Notes:

  1. Only local backups can be attached.
  2. The attached backup is writable so that the filesystem can process its journal on mount. However, all changes will be discarded when the backup is detached. The amount of data that can be written to the attached backup is limited to 256MB.
  3. Attached backups are not preserved during clone, backup, and snapshot operations.
