libvirt 7.2.0 domainbackup

[Thomas Stein]

Got a little bit further. "virsh backup-begin jitsi jitsi-backup.xml" 
works and I have a backup file now. VM was running all the time. 
Question. Is it save to use this function this way? Currently I do:

virsh snapshot-create-as --domain jitsi weekly --diskspec 
vda,file=/var/lib/libvirt/jitsi/jitsi_weekly.qcow2-$(date +%Y-%m-%d) 
--disk-only --atomic --no-metadata

ncftpput -V -F -d ...

virsh blockcommit jitsi vda --active --verbose --pivot

So while the backup is being written there is no write operation 
happening to the file.

Any thoughts?

cheers, t.
