Should be, yes.

Try this in /etc/default/xendomains (on Debian):

## Type: string
## Default: /var/lib/xen/save
#
# Directory to save running domains to when the system (dom0) is
# shut down. Will also be used to restore domains from if
# XENDOMAINS_RESTORE
# is set (see below). Leave empty to disable domain saving on shutdown
# (e.g. because you rather shut domains down).
# If domain saving does succeed, SHUTDOWN will not be executed.
#
#XENDOMAINS_SAVE=/var/lib/xen/save
XENDOMAINS_SAVE=""

Regards
