-blockdev-snapshot-sync

-
-Synchronous snapshot of a block device. snapshot-file specifies the
-target of the new image. If the file exists, or if it is a device, the
-snapshot will be created in the existing file/device. If does not
-exist, a new file will be created. format specifies the format of the
-snapshot image, default is qcow2.
-
-Arguments:
-
-- "device": device name to snapshot (json-string)
-- "node-name": graph node name to snapshot (json-string)
-- "snapshot-file": name of new image file (json-string)
-- "snapshot-node-name": graph node name of the new snapshot (json-string)
-- "mode": whether and how QEMU should create the snapshot file
- (NewImageMode, optional, default "absolute-paths")
-- "format": format of new image (json-string, optional)
-
-Example:
-
--> { "execute": "blockdev-snapshot-sync", "arguments": { "device": "ide-hd0",
- "snapshot-file":
- "/some/place/my-image",
- "format": "qcow2" } }
