For a running domain, you need to go through libvirt and also save the memory of the VM - doing just the disk snapshot for a running machine would be an equivalent of copying a physical hard drive after pulling out the power cord.

Hi Jan, I 100% agree that taking a snapshot without dumping the memory content would be akin to "pulling the plug" on the guest. However, I was speaking about disk image file consistency. In other words: does taking a snapshot of an in-use virtual disk have a chance to corrupt the *original* disk Qcow2 image file?
