2.10.7. Detaching Backups from Virtual Machines and Containers

Note

Note: Before detaching a backup from a running Linux virtual machine, disable the backup device with the prl_backup disable command run in the guest OS.

  • To detach all virtual disks from all backups attached to a virtual machine or container, use the prlctl set --backup-del all command. For example: 

    # prlctl set vm1 --backup-del all

  • To detach all virtual disks from a specific backup attached to a virtual machine or container, use the prlctl set --backup-del <backup_ID> command. For example: 

    # prlctl set vm1 --backup-del {e13561bb-5676-49bd-a935-ae0145eb0229}

  • To detach a specific virtual disk from any of the backups attached to a virtual machine, disconnect then delete the virtual disk. For example: 

    # prlctl set vm1 --device-set hdd1 --disconnect
# prlctl set vm1 --device-del hdd1

  • To detach a specific virtual disk from any of the backups attached to a container, delete said disk with the prlctl set --device-del hdd<N> command. For example: 

    # prlctl set MyCT --device-del hdd1
