Is there any other way to restore/extract a vzdump

in General

Our previous host provided us with a backup named vzdump-XXXX.tar

Is there any other way of extracting this if our new host does not support vzdump?

    You can untar it like a normal file.

    I did and root.hdd and some other files came up

    Then it's ploop, mount the device on a loop device and then mount it either with ext4 or XFS:

    losetup /dev/loop0 /dir/root.hdd
kpartx -av /dev/loop0
mount /dev/mapper/loop0p1 /mnt/

    Can I do it from within an OpenVZ VPS or does the host need to do this?

  • KuJoeKuJoe Member, Host Rep

    Go get a KVM VPS, setup OpenVZ on it (http://openvz.org/Quick_installation) then vzdump --restore the tar file and you'll have the restored OpenVZ container in your KVM VPS. Just vzctl enter #### and you'll have access to your files.
