This is why folks need to grow beyond gui interfaces. Are you a
member of the kvm group?
If so, then you need to open a terminal and manually copy the disk
image file whereever you want to save it. Make sure the VM is shut
down first though.
and on a side note. SCREAM FEROCIOUSLY if you don't have sudo admin
access on your own workstation. Those kinds of corporate security
policies are bullshite!

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!
