prestore

The prestore utility is run on the Backup Server. It uses the virtual machine backups stored on the Backup Server to restore them to their original servers (or to any other location if the –d option is specified). The syntax of the utility is the following:

prestore [ restore_options ] server1 ... [ CT_options ]

You can specify any number of servers (their names or IP addresses) whose virtual machines were at one time backed up and now need to be restored.

The restore options are the following:

`-l`	Do not restore any virtual machines. Show the information on the virtual machines available for restoring.
`-n` `backup_server`	The Backup Server where to look for existing backups. If this option is omitted, `prestore` searches for the backups on the server from which they were originally backed up. The format for the Backup Server is as follows: `<` `user` `[[:` `password` `]@` `server_IP_address_or_hostname` `[:` `port` `]>`
`-e` `CT1` `...`	The virtual machines to restore on the server. Any virtual machine can be specified using both its ID or name.
`-x` `CT1` `...`	The virtual machines that need not be restored (virtual machines to exclude). Any virtual machine can be specified using both its ID and name.
