[Qemu-discuss] Live VM backup

[Vincenzo Romano]

I'd like to move away from "another virtualization solution" to QEmu.
I've more or less all the needed bits in my hands in order to define,
run and manage QEmu VMs.
What I am missing is the knowledge of how to backup a live VM.
Of course, if I shutdown the VM, I can simply copy its files and the
startup script on another QEmu host.
But my main objective is to do the backup while the VM is running.
I think I could use the snapshot feature, but have no idea on how to proceed.
Any hint?

P.S.
I am not going to use libvirt-based stuff. Just QEmu and KVM.
