lxc-checkpoint - checkpoint a container
lxc-checkpoint {-n name} {-D PATH} [-r] [-s] [-v] [-d] [-F]
lxc-checkpoint checkpoints and restores containers.
-r, --restore Restore the checkpoint for the container, instead of dump‐ ing it. This option is incompatible with -s. -D PATH, --checkpoint-dir=PATH The directory to dump the checkpoint metadata. -s, --stop Optionally stop the container after dumping. This option is incompatible with -r. -v, --verbose Enable verbose criu logging. -d, --daemon Restore the container in the background (this is the de‐ fault). Only available when providing -r. -F, --foreground Restore the container in the foreground. Only available when providing -r.
These options are common to most of lxc commands. -?, -h, --help Print a longer usage message than normal. --usage Give the usage message -q, --quiet mute on -P, --lxcpath=PATH Use an alternate container path. The default is /var/lib/lxc. -o, --logfile=FILE Output to an alternate log FILE. The default is no log. -l, --logpriority=LEVEL Set log priority to LEVEL. The default log priority is ER‐ ROR. Possible values are : FATAL, ALERT, CRIT, WARN, ER‐ ROR, NOTICE, INFO, DEBUG, TRACE. Note that this option is setting the priority of the events log in the alternate log file. It do not have ef‐ fect on the ERROR events log on stderr. -n, --name=NAME Use container identifier NAME. The container identifier format is an alphanumeric string. --rcfile=FILE Specify the configuration file to configure the virtual‐ ization and isolation functionalities for the container. This configuration file if present will be used even if there is already a configuration file present in the pre‐ viously created container (via lxc-create). --version Show the version number.
lxc-checkpoint -n foo -D /tmp/checkpoint Checkpoint the container foo into the directory /tmp/checkpoint. lxc-checkpoint -r -n foo -D /tmp/checkpoint Restore the checkpoint from the directory /tmp/checkpoint.
