CLI VPS Volume Restore
VPS Volume Restore using the command-line interface
In SERVERware 3, it is possible to perform VPS volume restore using the command-line interface (CLI). This feature can be useful in certain situations (e.g. GUI is not accessible) and is provided to enable restore of the raw backup in a temporary folder with the purpose of file system access and restoration of important files. In order to access VPS volume content on the backup server, use the following commands:
example :
~# sw volume-restore -b /BACKUP/bj01/ -d BACKUP/vps-restore
usage: sw volume-restore [-b root_backup_path] [-d dest_volume_path]
-b flag specifies a path to the root backup folder containing individual volume backups
-d flag specifies a path to the destination ZFS volume
Volume-restore provides an interactive interface for restoring VPS volume from the backup. The following screen will appear:
After selecting which VPS volume we will restore, we need to select a restore point.
Restoration begins...
... and completes.
Next, we need to mount restored volume to a mount point.
~# mount /dev/zvol/BACKUP/vps-restore /mnt
As seen in the following picture, a complete file system is now available.
After all, work is done, we can remove the restored and mounted volume.
~# umount /mnt ~# zfs destroy BACKUP/vps-restore -r
