[libvirt-users] unattended cloning

[Adam King]

Morning, 

I have a KVM guest running Win 2012 with MS SQL 2012. 
In order to provide a quick method of restoring the service should the live server die, we've decided to clone it to a preserved state. 
Ideally, this clone should also be kept up to date and cloning should be done on a regular basis. 

Is there any reason not to do unattended cloning? As in, when I leave on a Friday afternoon, start a script to clone the guest and auto start the live guest? 

Thanks
