export

Exporting a container creates an archive or image that can be sent to a different machine to be imported later. These exported archives can be used as container backups.

ishmael ~ # bastille export azkaban

The export sub-command supports both UFS and ZFS storage. ZFS based containers will use ZFS snapshots. UFS based containers will use txz archives and they can be exported only when the jail is not running.

Usage:  bastille export [option(s)] TARGET PATH

Available options are:

ishmael ~ # bastille export help
Usage: bastille export [option(s)] TARGET [PATH]

    Options:

    -a | --auto        Auto mode. Start/stop jail(s) if required.
    -l | --live        Export a running jail (ZFS only).
         --gz          Export to a '.gz' compressed image (ZFS only).
         --xz          Export to a '.xz' compressed image (ZFS only).
         --zst         Export to a '.zst' compressed image (ZFS only).
         --raw         Export to an uncompressed RAW image (ZFS only).
         --tgz         Export to a '.tgz' compressed archive.
         --txz         Export to a '.txz' compressed archive.
         --tzst        Export to a '.tzst' compressed archive.
    -v | --verbose     Enable verbose mode (ZFS only).
    -x | --debug       Enable debug mode.

    Note: If no export option specified, the container should be redirected to standard output.
