+
+## Dependencies
+
+Before installing `virt-back`, you need to ensure that the necessary development libraries for `libvirt` are installed on your system. These libraries are required for the `libvirt-python` package, which `virt-back` depends on.
+
+### Fedora/RedHat
+
+On Fedora or RedHat-based systems, you can install the `libvirt-devel` package using `dnf`:
+
+```bash
+sudo dnf install libvirt-devel
+```
+
+### Ubuntu/Debian
+
+On Ubuntu or Debian-based systems, you can install the `libvirt-dev` package using `apt-get`:
+
+```bash
+sudo apt-get install libvirt-dev
+```
+
+### Installing `virt-back`
+
+Once the necessary development libraries are installed, you can install `virt-back` using `pip`:
+
+```bash
+pip install virt-back
+```
+
+This will install `virt-back` along with its dependencies, including `libvirt-python`.

+## Restoring from a ZFS Backup
+
+This section explains how to restore a KVM instance from a ZFS backup using the `virt-back` utility. The process involves extracting the backup archive, restoring the ZFS snapshot, and creating a new VM in TrueNAS Scale using the restored ZFS volume.
+
+### Step-by-Step Restore Process
+
+1. **Extract the Backup Archive**: Extract the tar archive to get the ZFS snapshot file and the XML configuration file.
+2. **Restore the ZFS Snapshot to a New Dataset**: Use the `zfs receive` command to restore the ZFS snapshot to a new dataset.
+3. **Create a New VM in TrueNAS Scale**: Use the TrueNAS Scale UI to create a new VM and point it to the restored ZFS volume.
+
+### Detailed Steps
+
+#### 1. Extract the Backup Archive
+
+First, extract the tar archive to get the ZFS snapshot file and the XML configuration file. Use the `--strip-components` option to remove the leading directory components if necessary.
+
+```bash
+tar -xvf /mnt/personal/backup/virt-back/1_akuma.tar --strip-components=4 -C /mnt/personal/backup/virt-back
+```
+
+This command will extract the files directly to the `/mnt/personal/backup/virt-back` directory, removing the leading directory components.
+
+#### 2. Restore the ZFS Snapshot to a New Dataset
+
+Use the `zfs receive` command to restore the ZFS snapshot to a new dataset. Assuming the extracted ZFS snapshot file is named `1_akuma-2024-07-07.zfs`:
+
+```bash
+zfs receive -F downloads/akuma-tfjpo7-restored < /mnt/personal/backup/virt-back/1_akuma-2024-07-07.zfs
+```
+
+This command will restore the ZFS snapshot to the `downloads/akuma-tfjpo7-restored` dataset.
+
+#### 3. Create a New VM in TrueNAS Scale
+
+1. **Open TrueNAS Scale UI**: Log in to the TrueNAS Scale web interface.
+2. **Navigate to Virtual Machines**: Go to the "Virtual Machines" section.
+3. **Create a New VM**:
+   - Click on "Add" to create a new VM.
+   - Fill in the necessary details for the new VM (e.g., name, CPU, memory).
+4. **Attach the Restored ZFS Volume**:
+   - In the "Disks" section, add a new disk.
+   - Select "Existing Zvol" and choose the restored ZFS volume (`downloads/akuma-tfjpo7-restored`).
+5. **Complete the VM Creation**: Finish the VM creation process by following the remaining steps in the UI.
+
+### Summary
+
+By following these steps, you can restore the ZFS snapshot and reattach it to a new VM using the TrueNAS Scale UI. This process involves extracting the backup archive, restoring the ZFS snapshot to a new dataset, and creating a new VM in TrueNAS Scale, pointing it to the restored ZFS volume. This approach ensures that the original dataset remains unaffected and allows you to easily restore and reattach your KVM instances. It's similar to cloning an existing instance except it's from a file backup so the machine will have all the attributes of the clone don't start them both at the same time because that would have IP address overlaps etc.
