backup your kvm vm with dd
The dd utility is a good way to make a backup of your kvm vm image. It
is nice to have a progress indicator so install pv (pipe viewer) to
gain this feature ..ie apt-get install pv.
Here is a backup script:
dd if=org.img | pv | dd of=backup.img bs=1M
On my system it took about 10 minutes to complete a backup of a 50g image.
