vzdump not supporting restore vzrestore not available
Freshly installed a copy of openvz kernel on a fresh debian 7.8 system booted into it trying to restore a vzdump from another server. vzdump does not have the option restore unable to find a deb for vzrestore can some one help!? i am using the latest for my Wheezy. Wheezy missing the vzrestore package and shipping a vzdump that does not support restore? (note I can not post links so remove "://" below) cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/openvz-rhel6.list deb http download.openvz.org/debian wheezy main deb http download.openvz.org/debian wheezy-test main #nonfree deb http http.debian.net/debian/ wheezy main contrib non-free dpkg -l vz\* | grep ^ii ii vzctl 4.9-1 amd64 server virtualization solution - control tools ii vzdump 1.2.6-3 all OpenVZ backup scripts ii vzquota 3.1-1 amd64 server virtualization solution - quota tools ii vzstats 0.5.3-1 all OpenVZ component to gather statistics to improve the project root@VZHN:/# apt-get install vzrestore Reading package lists...

I sorta have a 9 hour restore would like to finish tonight I am guessing that is not going to happen since restoring is not possible. all my searches refer to using vzdump with restore option or they just assume I have or can get with out telling me how to get the vzrestore. Lost need help or at least some clarity!
Re: vzdump not supporting restore vzrestore not available
ok vzdump does not support restore anymore you have to type out /usr/sbin/vzrestore ?? I manage to get it working. it looks like it was installed . possibly by the vzdump I installed. not clear on this.
