As has been pointed out, libvirt provides a means of snapshotting a live
VM's storage, so it is quite possible to backup images from the host
machine. That said, I strongly suggest you consider the following.
While the disk image approach simplifies backup, it complicates
restores. There is

I am looking to do the very same thing. So far I cant seem to find scripts
that will actually snapshot the VMs so the "files" can be backed up. I
have found a few that supposedly do so but they dont seem to work.
:(
What I am doing now is I am going to use the libvirt shutdown script to
shut

Hello,
In principle you can simply backup VM image files. However there is one
condition and that is that the backup must be done with the VM turned
off or done by somehow (I don't know how) making the VM pause and flush
everything to disk. Otherwise you risk to have a backup that when
