problem:  blockcommit only works if the guest is running.

so, not a problem with backuppc, but a problem with how to use it.

currently i'm using:
DumpPreShareCmd:
virsh snapshot-create-as <guest> <snap> --atomic --no-metadata --disk-only
--diskspec=<diskspec-from-virsh-domblklist>
mkdir -p /mnt/point
guestmount -iroallow_root -a<guest.qcow2> /mnt/point

DumpPostShareCmd:
guestunmount /mnt/point
virsh blockcommit <guest> <guest.snap> --active --pivot --delete

but blockcommit only works if the guest is running.

is there an approach that works, whether the guest is running, stopped, or
stops or starts during the backup?
