virt-copy-out(1) Virtualization Support virt-copy-out(1)NAMEvirt-copy-out - Copy files and directories out of a virtual machine
disk image.
SYNOPSISvirt-copy-out-a disk.img /file|dir [/file|dir ...] localdir
virt-copy-out-d domain /file|dir [/file|dir ...] localdir
DESCRIPTION
"virt-copy-out" copies files and directories out of a virtual machine
disk image or named libvirt domain.
You can give one of more filenames and directories on the command line.
Directories are copied out recursively.
EXAMPLES
Download the home directories from a virtual machine:
mkdir homes
virt-copy-out-d MyGuest /home homes
JUST A SHELL SCRIPT WRAPPER AROUND GUESTFISH
This command is just a simple shell script wrapper around the
guestfish(1) "copy-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.
