qmrestore: Restore virtual machine from given backup file on the original storage.

qmrestore

$ qmrestore ${path-to-vzdump-qemu-100-vma-lzo} ${100}

try on your machine

The command qmrestore is used to restore a Proxmox Virtual Environment (PVE) virtual machine (VM) from a backup. Here is the breakdown of the command:

${path-to-vzdump-qemu-100-vma-lzo}: This is a placeholder representing the path to the backup file of the VM you want to restore. It should be replaced with the actual file path on your system. The backup file name suggests it is a backup of a QEMU-based VM with the ID 100 in a compressed LZO format.
${100}: This is another placeholder indicating the ID of the Proxmox virtual machine you want to restore. It should also be replaced with the actual ID of the desired VM on your system.

When executing this command, the specified backup file will be used to restore the virtual machine with the given ID, effectively recreating the VM as it was at the time of the backup.
