[libvirt-users] VM cloning with memory state

Hi,

We are trying to implement VM cloning with snapshots for ovirt. For
the most part, everything seems to work fine.  However, when
saved-state comes into play it gets complicated.  As it seems
impossible to restore a saved state file for a different VM due to a
mismatch in UUID and name, I was wondering if it is possible to
somehow work around this?
Is it a sensible thing to do? (these are essentially the same VMs in
terms of configuration and disk content)
Is there a better approach to cloning a VM entirely (with snapshots and memory)?

Thanks!
