you may care, depending on the type of guest, on having a qemu-guest-agent
installed, which would help with syncing the writes to the disks before the
live snapshot is taken.
something to test though is if a daily snapshot does not degrade the
performance of the running VM, due to more COW layers (until the backup api
and live merge are in place).
hello, coming back to this topic.
when you say
"

do you refer to something in particular already implemented as a
command or something similar?
I have a CentOS 6 guest with rhev-guest-agent taken by dreyu repoan
dwould like to test what available in case.
