✨ vzrestore(1) ✨

okay so bestie, this is the manual page for vzrestore from the Proxmox Documentation set 💖 it's short, it's sweet, it does exactly one thing, and it does it flawlessly. lowkey iconic behavior.

🎀 NAME 🎀

vzrestore — restore OpenVZ vzdump backups 🦋

that's it. that's the whole job. she restores backups and she does NOT elaborate.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

vzrestore <archive> <VMID>

two arguments, no options, no drama. the way that this command is literally just two things and a dream 😭

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

Restore the OpenVZ vzdump backup <archive> to virtual machine <VMID>. ✨

so like — you point it at a vzdump backup file, you tell it which VM ID you want that backup to become, and boom, your container is back. no cap. that's the whole vibe. <archive> is the backup you're pulling from, <VMID> is the virtual machine it lands on. 🫶

bestie please double-check that <VMID> before you hit enter, because this is a restore and it's gonna put that archive's contents onto that VM ID. just… look at it twice, okay? 🙈
