Thanks Sven, Detaching the domain is not an option, sorry if did not make it clear i meant to backup the storage domain while VMs are running.
Also regarding the Live Snapshot option, The live snapshot simply create a second hardisk for the VM and start to write on it.. it does not do any backup just a restore point. Thanks, Mohye.
