You can do that by running:
virsh dumpxml $dom > dom.xml && virsh define dom.xml
You want `virsh
dumpxml --security-info $dom`, not just `virsh
dumpxml`. There is a *critical* difference in that the former will
preserve any passwords you have set (like say, VNC) whereas the latter
will not. This is sadly not very obvious.
