Is the save function in virt-manager for a vm equivalent to these steps:<br><br>1) pause vm (for example in virt-manager gui)<br>2) save disk image to file<br>3) run vm again<br>?<br>Is any mem state preserved in this save operation?<br>
<br>Can we think it as crash-consistent image ot the VM (aka equivalent of rebooting a server after a hard shutdown)?<br>What exactly happens when you do a restore of a saved VM?<br><br>What could they be differences between a save operation and this one below:<br>
<br>- imagine VM disk is an LV<br>- pause VM<br>- do an lvm snapshot of the LVs that compose the VM<br>- exit VM from pause state (unchek inside virt-manager gui)<br>- backup the snapshot LVs<br> <br>I think this latest is crash-consistent, correct?<br>
<br>Thanks for your comments.<br><br>Gianluca<br>
