restore-systems

Restores one or more Cloudmin-managed virtual systems.

This command restores backups of one or more Cloudmin systems from the specified backup destination. The systems to include are selected using standard flags like --host or --owner, and the destination by the --source flag followed by a destination specification like /backup/cloudmin or backupserver:/cloudmin.

By default, systems are restored one by one. However, you can have them done in parallel with the --parallel flag.

If a system being restored no longer exists, Cloudmin will attempt to re-create it using the same parameters (like disk size, CPU and memory limits) that it had originally. However, this will fail if the original host system is down or un-available - in which case you can use the --new-host flag to specify an alternate host system to restore on.

Example usage

  cloudmin restore-systems --host functest.home --source /tmp
