Hello, I see that the vbox driver in virDomainSave doesn't use the destination file path and calls vbox's IConsole::SaveState. As I see it IConsole::SaveState is more like a "pause" command: you can save the state you're in and wait for the machine to stop running and you can resume it later. This limits the uses of the vbox support of libvirt. There is another way you can do virDomainSave/virDomainRestore: use snapshots. This way, you can specify the file in which you want to save the snapshot, you can continue to use the machine and do some crazy experiments and then restore the machine to the known good state. As of the current implementation, I don't think there's a way to do this in libvirt. I'd like to know if there's a real reason why virDomainSave is implemented this way (and virDomainRestore is unimplemented), or it just got implemented like this and no one cared much about it. -- . ..: Lucian -- Libvir-list mailing list Libvir-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
