Moving snapshot

[LionelR]

Hi all,
I have 2 servers running proxmox 3.0 not on the same network. Is it possible (and how) to copy a live snapshot (vm in qcow2, compressed with lzo) made on the first server to the second server and use this copy on the second server?
Thanks

Hi, you can clone the vm and choose the snapshot in the form.

Sounds like "live migration" for me.

Hi,
live migration implies a cluster, and as what I can see the (hypothetical) slave node must not contain VMs, which is not my case...
As a second solution, if I stop the VM on server1, is it possible to copy it to server2 through ssh and start it on server2? If yes, which files do I have to worry about?

copy
- vm config file : /etc/pve/qemu-server/vmid.cfg
- vm disk : /var/lib/vz/images/<vmid>/*

to your new server.

if you change the vmid, edit your vm.cfg file, and rename the vm disk files
