Operations on Virtual Machines and Containers 47
Notes:
1. The current version of Parallels Server Bare Metal supports restoring virtual machines to the
Source Server only.
2. The prestore utility can also manage (list, restore, etc.) backups created using the pctl
backup command. However, you are recommended to use the same utility (either pctl or
prestore) during the life cycle of a particular backup.
3. For the full list of command line options for prestore, refer to the Parallels Command
Line Reference Guide.
Configuring Per-Server Backup Parameters
A number of default parameters in the global backup configuration file can be adjusted for a
particular physical server to be backed up. To do this:
1 Create a new configuration file named server.conf.
2 Put the file to the backup directory. This directory is defined by the BACKUP_DIR
parameter in the /etc/vzbackup.conf global backup configuration file and is set to
/vz/backups by default.
The server.conf file should contain those parameters that you want to rewrite for a given
Parallels server. For a complete list of those backup parameters that can be configured using
per-server and configuration files, refer to the Parallels Command Line Reference Guide.
