Live Instance Backup
Hi CS community,
We're running CS 4.15.0.0 and KVM hypervisor. It doesn't support live
instance backups. Does the latest version of CS and KVM/QEMU have this
feature in place?
TIA
Cheers.

Sven,
That's great! I should have said "any storage that supports QCOW2, should
support live VM Snapshots".

Hi Fariborz,
I want to add to Simon's answer that also linstor storage plugin supports live snapshots and not only NFS storage.

Hello Ludjon,
That sounds like a prudent approach to ensure that our hosting solutions align well with your audience's needs and expectations. We're on board with beginning our collaboration through a Sponsored Review article, a listing in one of your articles, and a promotion in your newsletter. Could you please share the associated costs for these services? We’re eager to understand the investment required and to initiate this partnership.
Warm regards,
Cristian
Shape.host Team

Fariborz,
KVM does support live (running) snapshots, but it's dependent on the underlying storage you're using. Currently, only NFS supports live snaps, as KVM stores the memory in a QCOW2 image.
There's a global option to enable this feature in CloudStack.
