- Dump a guest virtual machine into the default dump directory (usually `/var/lib/vz/dump/`), excluding snapshots:
`vzdump {{vm_id}}`
- 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}}`
