Using btrfs as the dom0 filesystem (or a btrfs volume added to a dom0

snapshots or reflinks, you can create an offline copy of the VM's

first rsync step.
that would be faster :) but, reinstalling and restoring from backups would take 
a long time. maybe i could run it overnight.

Or depending on your config, you could create a separate btrfs partition. IIRC, Qubes lets you place VMs on other volumes.

If you already have ext4-on-lvm that might work, too. Make a snapshot volume then use qvm-block on that.
