Resolution

Use attached script to backup or restore Parallels Virtual Automation (PVA) Management Server. The pvabackup.vbs file should be extracted and copied to "C:\Program Files\Parallels\Parallels Virtual Automation\Management Server\bin\" folder:

Backup command example:

cscript pvabackup.vbs BACKUP c:\mn_backups

where c:\mn_backups is a folder where backup is going to be saved.

Restore command example:

cscript pvabackup.vbs RESTORE c:\mn_backups 20091027222544

where 20091027222544 is a folder including backup which needs to be restored.

If PVA Management Server is installed inside a Container or Virtual Machine you can additionally backup this virtual instance to have PVA server backed up.

Note: The script can be used to migrate PVA Management Server to a new server using backup and restore functionality.
