Try this modification (again untested, but at least doesn't have a block job running during the save attempt):

Good through here.
virsh resume dom virsh define dom.xml
virsh resume gentoo-template error: failed to get domain 'gentoo-template' error: Domain not found: no domain with matching name 'gentoo-template'
Aha - then 'virsh resume dom' is not correct; we merely need 'virsh restore /path/to/memory-backup' which should load from the memory save file and start it running again (since we saved it with --running in the first place).
Yes. This works. So for now my backup looks like this: virsh dumpxml --security-info dom > dom.xml virsh undefine dom virsh blockcopy dom vda /path/to/backup-vda polling loop - check periodically until 'virsh blockjob dom vda' shows 100% completion virsh suspend dom virsh blockjob dom vda --abort virsh save dom /path/to/memory-backup --running virsh restore /path/to/memory-backup virsh resume dom virsh define dom Thank you again Eric. I'm quite happy with that solution. Thomas
