Hi,

again thanks for your quick answer. I had a look on https://wiki.libvirt.org/page/Live-disk-backup-with-active-blockcommit
and i liked it. I'm thinking of upgrading my systems to SLES 12 SP3. With that i have qemu 2.9.1 and libvirt 3.3.0, so it should work.
Does this procedure also work with raw files ?
