how to restore xen vps from tar backup

Advertisements

Here we discuss how to restore a xen vps or virtual private server or container for a .tar backup file.
For this, You must have enabled ftp backups and the backup should be there in a remote ftp backup server.

And suppose you have a backup as this in the backup server
569-xen-vm601-1.tar.gz
id=569
CID/XID=vm601

Now go to the node(server) where vps is created and run the following command.

[root@xendell ~]# /scripts/ftp-restore
/usr/lib/php/modules/dbase.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0
