  • Did you try virsh snapshot-create ... Commented Jan 10, 2021 at 20:02
  • IIUC virsh snapshot-create ... creates a new snapshot - essentially the same as clicking the + (add snapshot) on virt-manager which is going to damage the file. If someone knows FOR SURE that I am wrong, please let me know. Commented Jan 10, 2021 at 22:22
  • man virsh says for snapshot-create: If --redefine is specified, then all XML elements produced by snapshot-dumpxml are valid; this can be used to migrate snapshot hierarchy from one machine to another... , or to make slight alterations in the snapshot metadata (such as host-specific aspects of the domain XML embedded in the snapshot). When this flag is supplied, the xmlfile argument is mandatory, and the domain's current snapshot will not be altered unless the --current flag is also given. Commented Jan 11, 2021 at 11:33
