qemu how to save session of a running VM

I use a lot of live iso's want to save live session so that i can just continue from last time or don't have to wait a longwhile for a   some operating system like windows to boot. Is there a cli system to save the live session???

Hi!

With virsh there are options for save and resume a guest: RedHat-Docs : SAVE A GUEST VIRTUAL MACHINE.

You could also use the faster suspend but this will consume hosts RAM instead of saving the current state to disk as save does.
