 Hello all,

I'm sure this has been asked before but I couldn't find a reference:
I desire to pauze/save the state of dom, backup/snapshot the disk and then 
unpauze the domain.

This can be done with xm save, but this destroy the machine, effectively 
doubling the required time to snapshot the machine.
(As you first have to save it to disk .... and then load it again ... With 
machine with a couple gigabyes of RAM this can start to take a while.)

I did see xend/XendCheckpoint.py has some code in it that decides if it will destroy or 
resume the machine ... This makes me thing that adding the option "leave 
pauzed" isn't to hard ?

Greeting and thanks in advance,
Killian
