About Parallels containers
Using pbackup and prestore Along with prlctl , you can use the following utilities to create and manage backups of your virtual machines and Containers: pbackup . This utility is used to create backups of individual virtual machines and Containers or entire Parallels servers. prestore . This utility is used to manage the existing backups of virtual machines and Containers. Backing Up Virtual Machines and Containers The pbackup utility is run on the backup server connecting via SSH to the Parallels server and backing up one or more virtual machines and Containers on this server. By default, new Container and virtual machine backups are placed in the /var/parallels/backups directory. You can change the default backup directory with the prlsrvctl set command. Let us assume that you want to back up the entire Parallels server (that is, all virtual machines and Containers on this server) with the test.com hostname. In this case, you can run the following command on the backup server: # pbackup test.com During the command execution, you will be asked to provide the test.com credentials. After doing so, the command will back up all virtual machines and Containers on the test.com and put all backed up Containers to the backup server all backed up virtual machines to the source server To save the backed up virtual machines also on the backup server, you should additionally specify the -n option. This option is used to indicate the IP address or hostname of the backup server and its credentials: #

Pbackup -n root:7ujn6yhb@192.168.10.199 test.com If you wish to back up not all, but specific virtual machines and Containers from the specified server, use the –e or –x switches (to include or exclude the specified virtual machines and Containers, respectively). For example: # pbackup -n root:7ujn6yhb@192.168.10.199 test.com -e 101 MyVM In this session, only Container 101 and the MyVM virtual machine residing on the source server with the test.com hostname will be included in the backup, and their backups will be stored on the backup server. Notes : 1. A backup server can be any server running Parallels Cloud Server and having sufficient space for storing virtual machine or Container backups. 2. You cannot back up virtual machines with attached physical HDDs, mounted ISO or floppy disk images, etc. 3. For the full list of configuration parameters and command line options for pbackup , consult the Parallels Cloud Server 6.0 Command Line Reference Guide . Restoring Backups To restore any individual virtual machines and Containers or entire Parallels servers, you may want to view first the information about them. This can be done using the prestore -l command: # prestore -l -n test.com test.com root@test.com's password: ... Backups for node test.com: ID Backup_ID Node Date Type Size 101 2011-05-... test.com 2012-05-30 09:42:19 f 18721280 {cd91b90b...} {4ef87485...} test.com 2012-05-16 17:15:47 f 92617398 [ The ID and Backup ID are reduced for better readability. ] The command output shows that currently only two backups exist for the test.com server on the backup server.
