2.10.6.2. Attaching Backups to Windows Virtual Machines

  1. Obtain the backup ID and file name. For example: 

    # prlctl backup-list vm2 -f
...
Backup_ID: {cff742a9-f942-41c5-9ac2-ace3b4eba783}
...
Name: harddisk.hdd.qcow2c

  2. Attach the required backup as an HDD to the Windows virtual machine you will access the backup from. For example: 

    # prlctl set vm1 --backup-add {cff742a9-f942-41c5-9ac2-ace3b4eba783} \
--disk harddisk.hdd.qcow2c
Creating hdd1 (+) sata:2 real='backup:///{cff742a9-f942-41c5-9ac2-ace3b4eba783}/ \
harddisk.hdd.qcow2c' backup='{cff742a9-f942-41c5-9ac2-ace3b4eba783}' \
disk='harddisk.hdd.qcow2c'

The attached backup will appear as a ready-to-use disk in the Windows virtual machine.
