QEMU/KVM migration from debian to arch

Hi,

I'm considering switching to arch (from debian), and as i rely on a windows virtual machine (for work purpose), i wonder how easy it is to migrate it from one debian (testing/experimental) host to an arch one, on the same computer ? Is there some stuff i should be afraid of, or is it just a mater of launching the vm image in the new arch host ?

You should be able to run the VM in Arch with no modifications. Debian testing is on the same version at the moment.

Disclaimer: I haven't actually tried this.
