If you send a savevm to the qemu monitor it will save the RAM cpu position to the qcow2 image and perform a snapshot of all attached device. you can then get the list of snapshot using info snapshots and restore it by doing loadvm.

This is only ever going to work if the VM is shut down when you take the snapshot. Sorry, but we just don't have the ability to do live snapshots of running VMs. It requires a lot of work throughout the stack (qemu / libvirt / user tools). Rich. </PRE> </BODY> </HTML>
