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.
