Importing Backups in Command Line Interface

To import a backup using the command line interface:

1. Start the import process with the following command:

   veeamconfig backup import --path <path>

   where:

   <path> — path to the VBM file of the backup that you want to import.

   For example:

   user@wrk01:~$ veeamconfig backup import --path /home/share/BackupJob/BackupJob.vbm Backup has been imported successfully. Session ID: [{4031f058-766c-4f2c-a7ae-7257adb2929f}]. Logs stored in: [/var/log/veeam/Import/Session_{4031f058-766c-4f2c-a7ae-7257adb2929f}].

2. You can monitor the import process and result by viewing the import session log with the following command:

   veeamconfig session log --id <session_id>

   where:

   <session_id> — ID of the import session.

   For example:

   user@wrk01:~$ veeamconfig session log --id 4031f058-766c-4f2c-a7ae-7257adb2929f 2016-11-19 13:21:33 UTC {765af178-a9cc-4596-8bf2-03850c5da1ac} [info] Job started at 2016-11-19 16:21:33 2016-11-19 13:21:33 UTC {6ae2922d-454b-4a8d-a11b-2b5c7a85029d} [info] Importing backup 2016-11-19 13:21:33 UTC {783f40a7-ead7-4555-9c35-545d875990ee} [info] Backup has been imported.

3. Imported backup will be displayed in the list of backups. To view the list of backups, use the following command:

   veeamconfig backup list

   For example:

   user@wrk01:~$ veeamconfig backup list Job name Backup ID Repository Created at wrk01 SystemBackup {45f074d2-d2d9-423d-84e9-8f1798b08d4c} Repository_1 2016-11-11 17:37 wrk01 DocsBackup {ea64a7e5-038a-4c86-970a-6d59d4cf3968} Repository_1 2016-11-11 18:30 wrk01 HomeBackup {4f75bb20-a6b6-4323-9287-1c6c8ceccb6b} Repository_2 2016-11-15 11:28 BackupJob {64957b1d-d219-456c-a9cd-9598292c10cd} Imported 2016-11-19 19:12
