Symptoms
This knowledge base article is meant to provide the description of a new tool available since PIMU400003 and allowing to easily back up the Virtuozzo Tools 4.0 configuration (VZAgent & PIM) and to quickly restore it in case of a failure.The tool includes a number of helper scripts for users enabling them to create Virtuozzo Tools configuration backups and to restore them, if necessary.
Resolution
Windows:The scripts are located in "C:\Program Files\SWsoft\Virtuozzo\VZAgent\bin" folder on x86 system and "C:\Program Files (x86)\SWsoft\Virtuozzo\VZAgent\bin" folder on x64 system.
To back up the PIM installation the following command is used:
cscript pimBackupData.vbs <backup_folder> To restore the PIM installation, the following command is used:
cscript pimRestoreData.vbs [--force] <backup_folder> A backup is created in the folder you specify after pimBackupData.vbs as <backup_folder>. To restore the created backup, it is necessary to specify the path to this folder after pimRestoreData.vbs.
Examples:
- To back up the current PIM configuration into the C:\temp folder:
cscript pimBackupData.vbs C:\temp\ - To restore the PIM configuration previously backed up into the C:\temp folder:
cscript pimRestoreData.vbs C:\temp Note: Pathname to the backup folder should not contain "space" symbols.
Linux:
To back up the PIM installation, the following command is used:
perl /opt/vzagent/bin/pimBackupData <backup_directory> To restore the PIM installation, the following command is used:
perl /opt/vzagent/bin/pimRestoreData [--force] <backup_directory> The backup is being created in the <current_date> subfolder of the <backup_directory> directory (the <current_date> subfolder is being automatically created during the backup creation).
To restore the created backup, you need to specify the full path to the <backup_directory>/<current_date> directory after pimRestoreData.
Examples:
- To back up the PIM configuration into the /tmp directory (during the backup creation, the /tmp/2008-06-27T14-40-00 folder is automatically created):
perl /opt/vzagent/bin/pimBackupData /tmp/ - Assuming that the /tmp/2008-06-27T14-40-00 folder was created when running the previous command and that this folder is used to store the created backup, you can restore the PIM configuration as follows:
perl /opt/vzagent/bin/pimRestoreData /tmp/2008-06-27T144000/ keywords: backup restore PIM
