5Create backup.
6
7`<vmid>`: `<string>` ::
8
9The ID of the guest system you want to backup.
10
11`--all` `<boolean>` ('default =' `0`)::
12
13Backup all known guest systems on this host.
14
15`--bwlimit` `<integer> (0 - N)` ('default =' `0`)::
16
17Limit I/O bandwidth (in KiB/s).
18
19`--compress` `<0 | 1 | gzip | lzo | zstd>` ('default =' `0`)::
20
21Compress dump file.
22
23`--dumpdir` `<string>` ::
24
25Store resulting files to specified directory.
26
27`--exclude` `<string>` ::
28
29Exclude specified guest systems (assumes --all)
30
31`--exclude-path` `<array>` ::
32
33Exclude certain files/directories (shell globs). Paths starting with '/' are anchored to the container's root, other paths match relative to each subdirectory.
34
35`--ionice` `<integer> (0 - 8)` ('default =' `7`)::
36
37Set IO priority when using the BFQ scheduler. For snapshot and suspend mode backups of VMs, this only affects the compressor. A value of 8 means the idle priority is used, otherwise the best-effort priority is used with the specified value.
38
39`--lockwait` `<integer> (0 - N)` ('default =' `180`)::
40
41Maximal time to wait for the global lock (minutes).
42
43`--mailnotification` `<always | failure>` ('default =' `always`)::
44
45Deprecated: use notification targets/matchers instead. Specify when to send a notification mail
46
47`--mailto` `<string>` ::
48
49Deprecated: Use notification targets/matchers instead. Comma-separated list of email addresses or users that should receive email notifications.
50
51`--maxfiles` `<integer> (1 - N)` ::
52
53Deprecated: use 'prune-backups' instead. Maximal number of backup files per guest system.
54
55`--mode` `<snapshot | stop | suspend>` ('default =' `snapshot`)::
56
57Backup mode.
58
59`--node` `<string>` ::
60
61Only run if executed on this node.
62
63`--notes-template` `<string>` ::
64
65Template string for generating notes for the backup(s). It can contain variables which will be replaced by their values. Currently supported are \{\{cluster\}\}, \{\{guestname\}\}, \{\{node\}\}, and \{\{vmid\}\}, but more might be added in the future. Needs to be a single line, newline and backslash need to be escaped as '\n' and '\\' respectively.

67NOTE: Requires option(s): `storage`
68
69`--notification-mode` `<auto | legacy-sendmail | notification-system>` ('default =' `auto`)::
70
71Determine which notification system to use. If set to 'legacy-sendmail', vzdump will consider the mailto/mailnotification parameters and send emails to the specified address(es) via the 'sendmail' command. If set to 'notification-system', a notification will be sent via PVE's notification system, and the mailto and mailnotification will be ignored. If set to 'auto' (default setting), an email will be sent if mailto is set, and the notification system will be used if not.
72
73`--notification-policy` `<always | failure | never>` ('default =' `always`)::
74
75Deprecated: Do not use

82
83Other performance-related settings.
84
85`--pigz` `<integer>` ('default =' `0`)::
86
87Use pigz instead of gzip when N>0. N=1 uses half of cores, N>1 uses N as thread count.
88
89`--pool` `<string>` ::
90
91Backup all known guest systems included in the specified pool.
92
93`--protected` `<boolean>` ::
94
