| * **<nowiki>--xml FILEPATH</nowiki>** - Usually omitted, but can be used to supply an alternative XML file for use on the restored guest with changes only in the host-specific portions of the domain XML. For example, it can be used to account for file naming differences that are planned to be made via disk snapshots of underlying storage after the guest is saved. If you forgot to provide this, you can make use of save-image-define later to achieve the same effect. You may also wish to refer to save-image-dumpxml and save-image-edit. | * **<nowiki>--xml FILEPATH</nowiki>** - Usually omitted, but can be used to supply an alternative XML file for use on the restored guest with changes only in the host-specific portions of the domain XML. |
