Hi,
Is it possible to have multiple snapshots per VM for KVM similar to
VMWare?
Have a look at the "SNAPSHOT COMMANDS" section of "man virsh".

Hi Rick,
I don't know how I missed it
su -c "virsh save <virtual machine (name | id | uuid)> <filename>"
Note that "virsh save" will save the memory image of the domain, then
shut it down. It's not really a snapshot--more like a checkpoint.
You probably want something more like
su -c virsh snapshot-create <domainname> <xmlfilename> --atomic
to create a real snapshot and leaving the domain in a run state. As I
said, look at the "SNAPSHOT COMMANDS" part of virsh's man page to get
the real lowdown.
