→Investigation 5: How do I backup a virtual machine?
# Shut down all of the virtual machines.
# Change to the directory <code>/var/lib/libvirt/images/</code>. Note the size of the files in this directory.What do these files contain?
# Make a compressed backup of the <code>fedora3.img</code> file with this command: <code>gzip <fedora3.img >fedora3.img.backup.gz</code>
# Compare the size of the compressed and original files.
