Hi,
I defined several xen domains with libvirt. Can anybody tell me where
libvirt stores these definitions? E.g. what files would one need to back up?
Is it correct, that the xen domain definitions in /var/lib/xend/domains
are overwritten regularly by libvirt?
libvirt never directly stores its XML files when talking to Xen - it
always uses one of the two Xen formats as the master database instead.
On Xen <= 3.0.3 libvirt uses the files in /etc/xen
On Xen > 3.0.3 libvirt uses the native Xen APIs, which result in the
files being stored in /var/lib/xend/domains instead.
