Dear Paolo,
Thank you very much. To execute the backup, I run a script. For the machine in
question, it looks as follows:
#!/bin/bash
dt=`date +%y%m%d`
qemu-img snapshot -c gatewayb72 /kvm02/gatewayb72.img
qemu-img convert -f qcow2 -O qcow2 /kvm02/gatewayb72.img
/backup/gatewayb72$dt.img
qemu-img snapshot -d gatewayb72 /kvm02/gatewayb72.img
/bin/find /backup/* -mtime +100 -exec rm {} \;
Regards,
Michael

Hi,
please keep the replies on the mailing list. I've added the qemu-devel mailing
list, where more people should be able to see the message and hopefully reply
with something helpful.
Also, how do you do the backups?
