Is this in the plan? Having to stop VMs to backup is not really workable.

Would be easy to add for qcow2, I don't know about LVM, raw, or qcow. Would be easy to test.

for live snapshots im currently using https://github.com/syndicut/virt-backup - this takes a snapshot of the running instance and then uses dd to copy the image to a local file. To use virt-backup and LVM snapshots i change vrtManager/create.py line starting 146 - currently instances get a disk type of 'file' - i think for devices under /dev this should be: disk type='block'

Why did you close this @retspen? Is this feature planned for the feature or is @gitshaw s way the way to go?

Hi, while the project seems in a dormant state, missing live snapshoting feature is a blocker for a lot of people I guess. Having to use virt-manager to achieve that feature is defeating the purpose of using a web manager interface unfortunately.
