virt-tar-out

virt-tar-out(1) 					      Virtualization Support						   virt-tar-out(1)

NAME

       virt-tar-out - Pack a virtual machine disk image directory into a tarball.

SYNOPSIS

	virt-tar-out -a disk.img /dir files.tar

	virt-tar-out -d domain /dir files.tar

	virt-tar-out -d domain /dir - | gzip --best > files.tar.gz

DESCRIPTION

       "virt-tar-out" packs a virtual machine disk image directory into a tarball.

       The first parameter is the absolute path of the virtual machine directory.  The second parameter is the tar file to write.  Use "-" to
       write to standard output.

EXAMPLES

       Download the home directories from a guest:

	virt-tar-out -d MyGuest /home - | gzip --best > homes.tar.gz

JUST A SHELL SCRIPT WRAPPER AROUND GUESTFISH

       This command is just a simple shell script wrapper around the guestfish(1) "tar-out" command.  For anything more complex than a trivial
       copy, you are probably better off using guestfish directly.

OPTIONS

       Since the shell script just passes options straight to guestfish, read guestfish(1) to see the full list of options.

SEE ALSO
