Hi,
This is more a question than an issue, just for my understanding.
I use webvirtmgr to move my company old's VirtualBox server to a more robust solution using KVM.
So, my need is to convert VB vms to KVM compliant ones. To do so, I've converted vdi to raw, and it seems to work. But now, if I want to create a snapshot using webvirt mgr, I get this message: "unsupported configuration: internal snapshot for disk vda unsupported for storage type raw ".
I've also a question about snapshot capabilities of webvirtmgr: are they just virtual disk backups or could we create real LVM snapshots ?
Thanks.

WebVirtMgr like libvirt support only Qcow and Qcow2 snaphosts.
@romu70 commented on GitHub (Dec 31, 2013):
Ok, thanks. I'll probably try to convert a VB vm to qcow to see what happens. Thanks for the help.

Hi,
Have 2 more questions regarding snapshots:
Thanks.
@retspen commented on GitHub (Jan 7, 2014):
All VM snaphots contain in image file. Try console tools - qemu-img:
$ qemu-img info filename.img
@romu70 commented on GitHub (Jan 7, 2014):
Ok, thanks for the info, I needed to learn a bit about snapshots. So, as far as I understand, WebVirtMgr takes only snapshots which are embedded in the qcow VM image file. And no way to store web separately from your web interface, right ?
@retspen commented on GitHub (Jan 7, 2014):
Yes, now support only qcow snapshots.
