How to export detached backup?
-
I have several detached backups from an old VM that I was having trouble with. The VM is gone and I'm decommissioning the pool it was running on. I've moved all of my current VMs to the new pool but I want to archive these backups.
How can I export the VM backup without restoring it first?
-
You can move all the files related to this job to another place (with rsync for example, or scp or cp)

@olivierlambert I assume you're referring to the entire VM UUID folder under xo-vm-backups? Do I need the whole folder? If I ever need to restore it do I just copy the folder back into the backups dir?
-
Yes, the whole folder for each VM and job ID. I'm not 100% sure about the folder "on top" of it, but better safe than sorry

@olivierlambert Hmm. It may just be easier to do a restore and export.
I tried doing a file restore of / but I get a Cannot GET error when trying to download the tgz. I don't see anything in the UI to indicate what the problem is or if it actually created the tgz.
