2.10.2. Listing Virtual Machine and Container Backups

You can list backups on the server with the prlctl backup-list command. For example:

# prlctl backup-list
           ID  Backup_ID      Node      Date                 Type  Size
{c1dee22f...}  {209d54a0...}  test.com  2011-05-30 10:19:32  f     411566405
[The ID and Backup ID are reduced for better readability.]

The command output shows that currently only one backup with the ID of 209d54a0-e3b8-4a03-9ca8-d4cc7a2a27ca exists on the server. The information on the backup is presented in the following table:

ColumnDescription

Backup_ID

The ID assigned to the backup archive. You need to specify this ID when performing any backup-related operations.

Node

The hostname of the physical server storing the backup archive.

Date

The date and time when the backup archive was created.
