→‎Part 1: Backing Up Virtual Machines

<li> Make certain you are in your '''/var/lib/libvirt/images directory'''. Restore the original image from the backup from your home directory to your '''images''' directory by typing this command: <code>gunzip < ~YourUserId/centos3.qcow2.backup.gz > centos3.qcow2'''</code></li>

<li> Restart the VM. Is it working normally?</li>

~~<li> Create compressed backups of your other virtual machines (ie. '''centos1''' and '''centos2''').</li>~~<li> You should make a copy of the ~~xml~~ XML configuration file in case you "wipe" and re-install the host machine, and want to add a restored VM backups to the virtual machine manager list. We will demonstrate using the centos3 ~~xml~~ XML configuration file, and prove that a "clone" can be added to your list.Please perform the following step:</li>

<li> Execute the following command: <code>virsh dumpxml centos3 > centos3.xml</code></li>

<li> Examine the file <code>centos3.xml</code>. What does it contain? What format is it in? </li></ol>
