Hi,
virsh has save/restore to do a one-time save+shutdown. But it
does not expose kvm's savevm/restorevm, which let's me do
incremental snapshots. Is there a specific reason why that
is not exposed in libvirt, or is it just that noone has
implemented it?
The save/restore API only does a memory snapshot. If you are referring
to the savevm/loadvm/delvm, which take a disk+memory snapshot, then that is
implemented in terms of the libvirt snapshot API. You can start here:
