Mind you, what libvirt offers isn't proper snapshotting. It saves the VM state, but not your disk image state, so it's only useful for suspending VM's and resuming them again, and not for saving multiple snapshots and resuming any of them at random at a later time. Trying to do so will cause headaches, heartburn, kill your cat, and likely make your coffee cold. You've been warned. > And thanks again for all the help !
