virt-tar-in

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

NAME

       virt-tar-in - Unpack a tarball into a virtual machine disk image.

SYNOPSIS

	virt-tar-in -a disk.img data.tar /destination

	virt-tar-in -d domain data.tar /destination

	zcat data.tar.gz | virt-tar-in -d domain - /destination

WARNING

       Using "virt-tar-in" on live virtual machines can be dangerous, potentially causing disk corruption.  The virtual machine must be shut down
       before you use this command.

DESCRIPTION

       "virt-tar-in" unpacks an uncompressed tarball into a virtual machine disk image or named libvirt domain.

       The first parameter is the tar file.  Use "-" to read the tar file from standard input.	The second parameter is the absolute target
       directory to unpack into.

EXAMPLES

       Upload a home directory to a guest:

	virt-tar-in -d MyGuest homes.tar /home

JUST A SHELL SCRIPT WRAPPER AROUND GUESTFISH

       This command is just a simple shell script wrapper around the guestfish(1) "tar-in" 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.
