Two other ideas: You could create an "original" copy of the VM that you never touch, and then clone it to restore. What I don't know is whether clone implies duplicating all the storage too. If so then you might want the original to have no file set for the virtual drive. I've gotten somewhat adept at fiddling with the xml using 'virsh edit $vm' but there's a somewhat recent feature you can enable in virt-manager to directly edit xml in virt-manager. For every device on the left side UI, there's GUI configuration on the right side, but at the top there's a tab to see the xml. You have to go dig in virt-manager preferences to enable xml editing, otherwise you just get to look at the xml, not change it. I've started doing this rather than editing the xml directly via virsh edit. -- Chris Murphy _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
