Hi,
While there are a few howtos floating around, what is the standard way to snapshot guests?
I went through and converted from raw to pre allocated meta data qcow2 images for this purpose.
Some howtos suggest to do an xml snapshot file as so;
<domainsnapshot> <name>UbuntuServer_10.10-16032011</name> <description>Snapshot of OS install and updates</description> </domainsnapshot>
And then to run as so;
virsh snapshot-create UbuntuServer_10.10 UbuntuServer_10.10-ss.xml
Seems a bit over kill.
I was thinking more along the lines of this;
qemu-img snapshot -c $date $filename
qemu-img convert -f qcow2 -O qcow2 -s $date $filename $filename-$date
Or something like this.Anyways, hoping to see how you all are doing this for best practice sort of thing.
