/var/lib/vz/dump/
), excluding snapshots:

Back up the guest virtual machines with the IDs 101, 102, and 103:
vzdump {{101 102 103}}
-
Dump a guest virtual machine using a specific mode:
vzdump {{vm_id}} --mode {{suspend|snapshot}}
-
Back up all guest systems and send an notification email to the root and admin users:
vzdump --all --mode {{suspend}} --mailto {{root}} --mailto {{admin}}
-
Use snapshot mode (no downtime required) and a non-default dump directory:
vzdump {{vm_id}} --dumpdir {{path/to/directory}} --mode {{snapshot}}
-
Back up all guest virtual machines excluding the IDs 101 and 102:
vzdump --mode {{suspend}} --exclude {{101, 102}}
