Yes. This works. So for now my backup looks like this: virsh dumpxml --security-info dom > dom.xml virsh undefine dom virsh blockcopy dom vda /path/to/backup-vda polling loop - check periodically until 'virsh blockjob dom vda' shows 100% completion virsh suspend dom virsh blockjob dom vda --abort virsh save dom /path/to/memory-backup --running virsh restore /path/to/memory-backup virsh resume dom virsh define dom Thank you again Eric. I'm quite happy with that solution. Thomas _______________________________________________ libvirt-users mailing list libvirt-users@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvirt-users
