Hi,

Is it possible to have multiple snapshots per VM for KVM similar to
VMWare?


Have a look at the "SNAPSHOT COMMANDS" section of "man virsh".

Hi Rick,

I don't know how I missed it

su -c "virsh save <virtual machine (name | id | uuid)> <filename>"

Note that "virsh save" will save the memory image of the domain, then
shut it down. It's not really a snapshot--more like a checkpoint.

You probably want something more like

    su -c virsh snapshot-create <domainname> <xmlfilename> --atomic

to create a real snapshot and leaving the domain in a run state. As I
said, look at the "SNAPSHOT COMMANDS" part of virsh's man page to get
the real lowdown.
