QEMU has code to load/save the state of the guest that it is running.
|
|
These are two complementary operations. Saving the state just does
|
|
that, saves the state for each device that the guest is running.
|
|
|
|
These operations are normally used with migration (see migration.txt),
|
|
however it is also possible to save the state of all devices to file,
|
|
without saving the RAM or the block devices of the VM.
|
|
|
|
The save operation is available as QMP command xen-save-devices-state.
|
|
|

The binary format used in the file is the following:
