Re: qcow2 - How Do We Backup To A Different Hard Drive?

[Jesse Palser]

Hi Again...

I viewed the properties of the VM's "qcow2" file.
Under Permissions it says:
"Only the owner can change permissions"?
And the User is "libvirt-qemu" and the Group is "kvm"

Is there something I need to do?
Let me know, thanks!

Hi,

Running Kubuntu 18.04.3 LTS 64Bit with a Windows 10 Pro 64Bit guest.

We want to backup the VM's qcow2 image file to a different hard drive
but we cannot because it require sudo - which can't be done in Kubuntu's file manager.

Any ideas on how to do the above?
Let us know, thanks!
