Hello:
I need to know if I can use the restore operation (virsh o the equivalent in libvirt) to recover a previous state of a guest, but recovered previously in another host.
I did a test, but I got an error:

The exactly sequence using virsh I testes is:
On [HOST SOURCE]: Using virsh
1) save [domain] [file]
2) restore file
3) destroy [domain]

On [HOST SOURCE] using ubuntu sh
4) cp [guest.img] [guest.xml] [file] to HOST2

On [HOST TARGET] using virsh
5) define [guest.xml] (using image on destination in HOST2)
6) restore [file]

The restore troughs the following message:

virsh # restore sv-chubut-2011-04-01-09:58
error: Failed to restore domain from sv-chubut-2011-04-01-09:58
error: monitor socket did not show up.: Connection refused

Thank you very much.

Marcela.
