I think you mean a live version of the savevm command.

You can approximate live migrating to a file, creating an external disk
snapshot, then resuming the guest.

But flushing to file is too slower than memory,  and when flushing, the vcpu or VM is need to be paused until finished flushing,  so pause...resume...pause...resume............., more and more slower.
