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