Title: Quickest way to restore a VM from a .zst backup?


Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

I have a VM backup file with the .zst extension. What's the fastest way to restore this VM in UnRAID?

Is there a built-in UNRAID command I can use?

Or do I need a specific tool to decompress the file first?

Any tips or recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

If it was a backup from the VM plugin you should be able to just restore from that.

If not

zstd -d [file.zst] -o [destination file.img]

then create a VM, configure as needed, select vdisk manually.

Ah yeah there's no restore feature, mixed up with appdata backup.

 

So yeah, uncompress that, and you should also find the xml in the backup location if needed.

Is it possible to set the zip format during archiving

only zstd, gzip or uncompressed.
