Re: [libvirt-users] backup procedure using blockcopy
virsh dumpxml --security-info dom > dom.xml
virsh undefine dom
Hello.
Someone was talking about this (undefining the VM) would not be
neccessary anymore when qemu-1.5 has been released. Is that true?
virsh blockcopy dom vda /path/to/backup-vda
polling loop - check periodically until 'virsh blockjob dom vda'
shows 100% completion
virsh suspend dom
virsh save dom /path/to/memory-backup --running
This does not work for me.
hn ~ # virsh blockjob gentoo-template vda
Block Copy: [100 %]
hn ~ # virsh save gentoo-template
/opt/virt-backup-blockcopy/gentoo-template/gentoo-template-memory-backup
--running
error: Failed to save domain gentoo-template to
/opt/virt-backup-blockcopy/gentoo-template/gentoo-template-memory-backup
error: Requested operation is not valid: domain has an active block job
Obviously i can not save while the blockjob is running.
cheers
