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:

       --gz               Export a ZFS jail using GZIP(.gz) compressed image.
  -r | --raw              Export a ZFS jail to an uncompressed RAW image.
  -s | --safe             Safely stop and start a ZFS jail before the exporting process.
       --tgz              Export a jail using simple .tgz compressed archive instead.
       --txz              Export a jail using simple .txz compressed archive instead.
  -v | --verbose          Be more verbose during the ZFS send operation.
       --xz               Export a ZFS jail using XZ(.xz) compressed image.

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