You can still create a similar VM from scratch. It probably works even if not entirely identical.

Hello;

please, can i restore my VM Deleted by using this backup?:

oms1,root,root# cd /var/lib/libvirt/backup/
oms1,root,root# ll
total 12
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 9 mars 2015 backing_file
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 9 mars 2015 conf
drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 9 mars 2015 VMs

Also, i found only two .xml file:

oms1,root,root# cd /etc/libvirt/qemu/
oms1,root,root# ll
autostart VM1.xml
networks VM2.xml

thanks

I can't tell what these XML files refer to. Probably the two running VMs. I suggest you look into them.

As to the backup, admittedly I don't know what's in those directories. Again, why don't you explore them?

Hello and thank you for reply

how can i explore them ?

Thanks

Goodlinux · 01-21-2020, 07:11 AM

ok i will explore this files

thanks

The XML files are text files. Any text editor is fine.

Use ls to explore directories.

Use the file command to see what type of files these are.

You are lacking fundamental Linux/UNIX skills. You should not deal with virtual machines on Linux.

Goodlinux · 01-22-2020, 02:53 AM

thanks for the advice.
I am a beginner and I want to learn how to manage virtual machines under redhat.

Thank you for your help

berndbausch · 01-22-2020, 04:15 AM

First learn to crawl, then to walk, then to run. First learn Linux, then VM management under Linux, otherwise you will continue to stumble at every tiny obstacle.

Goodlinux · 01-22-2020, 04:32 AM

thank you very much sir.
I need documents and linux courses and virtual machines if you have of course.
