Hi Daniel, I'm also VERY interesting in save/restore my Domains to disk - is there a roadmap back to this feature - did you talk with the qemu developers ? Or should I try to contact them ? regards Danny

Hello Daniel,
thnaks for your anser. Do you know the plans regarding save/restore in kvm and libvirt? I would like to save my vm's at shutdown and restore at boot time. At the moment this is not working and shutdown is used.

Hallo,
I use kvm-81 and libvirt 0.5.1. I can save a kvm donain but if I want to restore it I get the following error in the log file:
unknown migration protocol: stdio
I tried it using only kvm and got the same error.
How can I save / restore a VM to / from a file?
The new KVM release dropped support for the '-incoming stdio' syntax that libvirt was using so save/restore no longer works :-(
