Saves a running domain to a state file so that it can be restored
Saves a running domain (RAM, but not disk state) to a state file so that
it can be restored
later. Once saved, the domain will no longer be running on the
system, thus the memory allocated for the domain will be free for
other domains to use. B<virsh restore> restores from this state file.
@ -609,6 +610,11 @@ This is roughly equivalent to doing a hibernate on a running computer,
with all the same limitations. Open network connections may be
severed upon restore, as TCP timeouts may have expired.
Domain saved state files assume that disk images will be unchanged
between the creation and restore point. For a more complete system
restore point, where the disk state is saved alongside the memory
state, see the B<snapshot> family of commands.
