virsh dumpxml[1] {guest-id, VM_MACHINE_NAME or uuid} [--inactive] [--security-info] [--update-cpu] [--migratable] [2]

--migratable with --migratable one can request an XML that is suitable for migrations, i.e., compatible with older libvirt releases and possibly amended with internal run-time options. This option may automatically enable other options (--update-cpu, --security-info, ...) as necessary[3]


virsh dumpxml MACHINE_NAME > /path/to/savefile.xml
virsh dumpxml --migrateable MACHINE_NAME > /path/to/savefile.xml

Activities[edit]

  1. Offline Migrate or move a virtual machine between two KVM servers without shared storage[4]: virsh dumpxml and virsh define
  1. Create Live backups with active virsh blockcommit[5]
  1. Dump config for all running machines: for NAME in `virsh list --name`; do virsh dumpxml $NAME > $NAME.xml; done
