1) virsh shutdown vmxx
2) cp /etc/libvirt/qemu/vmxx /etc/libvirt/qemu/vmyy
3) cp <old image file> <new image file>
4) perl -pi -w -e 's/old image file/new image file/g;' /etc/libvirt/qemu/vmyy
5) adjust new name in /etc/libvirt/qemu/vmyy
6) reload libvirtd
7) virsh start vmxx
   virsh start vmyy

HTH

Michael
