vzdump: Dump a guest virtual machine using a specific mode.
$ vzdump ${vm_id} --mode ${select}
try on your machine

This command is used to create a backup of a Virtuozzo virtual machine (VM) using the vzdump tool. Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • vzdump: This is the command itself, which invokes the vzdump tool.
  • ${vm_id}: This is a placeholder for the ID of the virtual machine you want to back up. You need to replace ${vm_id} with the actual ID of the VM, such as 100.
  • --mode: This is an option to specify the backup mode. You need to replace ${select} with one of the available modes. The specific options or modes can vary depending on the version and configuration of Virtuozzo. For example, it could be "snapshot", "stop", "suspend", or "suspendfull". Each mode determines how the backup is performed and may have different implications for the VM's availability during the backup process.

So, when you run the command with the appropriate values for ${vm_id} and ${select}, it will utilize vzdump to create a backup of the specified VM in the selected mode.
