This is similar to backing up an LVM snapshot of a live system. With 
many operating systems, there may be operations occurring in paging that 
have not yet been committed to the disk. Unless you can shut down things 
like databases and make sure all their content has been committed, you 
should not rely on such a snapshot for backup purposes.

What were your error messages, and how did you try to do the live migration?
