Freshly installed a copy of openvz kernel on a fresh debian 7.8 system

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)

so no way to restore ? do I have to some how find source and compile vzrestore where do I get it? 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!

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.
