  You can see http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/QEMU/Monitor , search savevm and
loadvm.

  BTW, make sure your root file system's format support snapshot. For example,
if you have a ext2 root file system "rootfs.ext2", convert it to qcow2 format
by using qemu-img.

  $ qemu-img convert -O qcow2 rootfs.ext2 rootfs.qcow2
