get this error when I try to restore a vm that was 'save'.

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/engine.py", line 909, in
run_domain
vm.startup()
File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/domain.py", line 1321, in startup
self._backend.create()
File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 330, in create
if ret == -1: raise libvirtError ('virDomainCreate() failed', dom=self)
libvirtError: cannot send monitor command
'{"execute":"qmp_capabilities"}': Connection reset by peer



the solution was to delete the  /var/lib/libvirt/qemu/save directory.

Anyone any idea of why?
