Hi. I am looking further information about the 'official' way of doing one guest snapshot. I read on the KVM page that "while the lists are used mainly for development, user queries are welcome" so I hope is ok and here is my quuestion. After taking time reading this list, the kvm doc and personal blogs I'm still not sure which is the official way or the bests practise to make a guest snapshot and if there is a way to do a consistent snapshot while the guest is running (for example for critical services that can not be sttoped). 1- Now, I make my guest snapshost's in a very basic way, but it works for me. I have made a simple script that stops the guests I want with the 'virsh suspend' command, then clone this guests with the 'virt-clone' command and finally resume them with the 'virsh resume' command. I'm reinventing the wheel with my script and is there some official utility to do this? 2- Assuming that you can clone a running guest, which sincerely make my day happy, what is the way to do it or where I can find information about this?. Thank you very much for your answers and time.
