Needless to say, if you're backing up /etc/libvirt/<whatever> make sure
libvirtd is down first, so that all the settings are properly dumped by the
daemon to the respective XMLs.

Absolutely! Not concerned about downtime here, just that after the
upgrade everything comes back up like before.
Speaking of settings dumped into XMLs, why are the files in
/etc/libvirt/qemu ever so slightly different from a manual dump using
virsh dumpxml & friends? E.g., for a domain I have a section
<resource>
<partition>/machine</partition>
</resource>
<alias ... /> entries for all devices, a tty attribute & <source ... />
for console, etc., in the manual dump only?
