Backup and restore oions.n different locat

[raj]

Hi Guys,

I have an ubuntu vm where the primary drive sits on an iscsi lun, LUN and the second drive sits on a second lun,LUN1.

The issue is that when i restore that vm, both drive are put back on the same lun.

Is there a way to bring them back to the 2 luns, reason is LUN is where all operating sys sits and LUN1 is where all storage stays.

Cheers,

Raj

Hi,
you can restore by hand with tar and dd.
Look with "tar tvf tarfile".
You can extract single files and pipe this to dd to fill an (existing) logical volume.

What command do you use to restore the VM? Am simply 'qmrestore' (without -storage parameter) should do the job.

I use the gui to restore :-( is there a way to see what command is being run in the background?

Pleas use the command line - see 'man qmrestore'

Hi Udo (The Master of the Masters!!!)

Do you can show a example of commands lines for this case?

Best regards
