[libvirt-users] availability of snapshots functionality via Python bindings

Snapshot support is indeed in the libvirt python bindings already, but you are using an *ancient* version. You need at least libvirt 0.8.2 to get snapshot support. -- Chris Lalancette

Thanks! That's what I needed to know. Regarding snapshots themselves: I presume with KVM/QEMU a qcow2 format of the vm's disk is still required to make snapshots? - -- Regards, mk - -- Premature optimization is the root of all fun. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJNIwznAAoJEFMgHzhQQ7hOT4MH/jnM/uFqG3qXwKtPXLA0p35Z S0NC6bXZ58NSum7VSdbzvCWcbWKv+YrCdvMXoV3AZiLyVwylPADwxUmlSktBVO4A 3cd12H1WVihxCE96en3EJX5zy9r9Xj4dureWvZPHJxZrHtKpXs/gBz4wIZZghMp4 AoemWnqNQDPgtmDmYmq482vxQmUk50WAHEDRzB9Ec23xAJfRbVl6EfVQsNuTC4TV psqUkvHuoWL0hPAci7Nhrpp1ZxXxR+hAHFdImb3mcW/uHZjxcRugd8sRvGhP5IZx LLiKrqbvQPFtPyyUfdEOCyzPuymNbffIIrerosePw+JeowILqVZQ6VcW6bjacak= =uP1d -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
