Use the 'savevm' monitor command, if you are using qcow2 disk images.
It might also be possible to use 'migrate' to migrate running memory
info to a file in the background, and then when that completes use
'blockdev-snapshot-sync', as a way of cobbling together a complete
snapshot even if you don't use qcow2 disk images.

If you are using libvirt, then libvirt has wrapped these actions under
its virDomainSnapshotCreateXML API.
