2.10.5. Backing Up Entire Servers

In addition to backing up single virtual machines and containers, you can create backups of all virtual environments on the server with the prlsrvctl backup command. For example:

# prlsrvctl backup -f
Backing up the CT MyCT
...
The CT has been successfully backed up with backup id {b14ec76d-c0e2-432f-859a- \
4727c0042065}
Backing up the VM MyVM
...
The VM has been successfully backed up with backup id {746dba2a-3b10-4ced-9dd6- \
76a2blcl4a69}.

Note

Notes:

  1. You can back up both running and stopped virtual machines and containers.
  2. Creating consistent backups of running virtual machines requires the Virtuozzo guest tools to be installed in said virtual machines.
  3. You cannot back up virtual machines with attached physical HDDs, mounted ISO or floppy disk images, etc.
