Yeah, for example, VMware Workstation have a feature call snapshot manager,
it can make a snapshot of the VM state online, which don't need to pause the
service, etc apache Web server maybe.
I think it dumps the memory and CPU state, oh, and of cause the virtual disk.
So, what I curious about, is how about Xen do the similar things.
Thank you for your reply!
