The problem is not the configuration file, the problem is the vm 
filesystem  file. That is not mentioned anywhere. How do you shutdown or 
start your VMs?
I made another test and created a second VM and then *saved* that VM. That 
saved it in the state it was in and I was able to restore it from that 
save file. However, when I then shutdown the same VM the save file has 
completely vanished and only the filesystem file is there as before. 
There's no way to "revive" it then.
This can't be it, I must be missing something, although I've read almost 
all of the Virtualization Guide by now.
Or is it really intended that the only way to keep a VM is to save it in 
the middle of operation and restore it?
