## DESCRIPTION
|
12
|
+
|
13
|
+
`prlbackup` simplifies the backup of one or multiple Virtual Machines
|
14
|
+
(VM) running on Parallels Server by stoping them during backup and
|
15
|
+
deleting old backups on demand. A working installation of Parallels
|
16
|
+
Server is required.
|
17
|
+
|
18
|
+
`prlbackup` was tested under Parallels Server for Mac 4.0 (PSfM).
|
19
|
+
|

+
* `-e`, `--exclude`:
|
29

+
Backup all but the given virtual machines (only applicable in
|
30
|
+
combination with option `--all`!).
|
31
|
+
|
32
|
+
* `-f`, `--full`:
|
33
|
+
Create full backups (by default incremental backups are created).
|
34
|
+
Note that the first backup for a VM is always a full backup despide
|
35
|
+
of this option.
|
36
|
+
|
37
|
+
* `-v`, `--verbose`:
|
38
|
+
Show commands with an impact on the VMs prior to their execution.
|
39
|
+
|
40
|
+
* `-n`, `--dry-run`:
|
41
|
+
Don't do anything with the VMs, just pretend to.
|
42
|
+
|
43

* `-k` <number_of_full_backups>, `--keep-only` <number_of_full_backups>:
|
44
|
+
Delete the oldest full backup(s) until only <number_of_full_backups> exist.
|
45
|
+
This cleanup action will be executed for each VM right after creating the
|
46
|
+
corresponding backup but only if the backup was successfully created.
|
47
|
+
Incremental backups are automatically deleted by Parallels Server when their
|
