上面注释的部分（即在：<!-- xxxx -->中间这段）的作用是：
在VM启动时自动挂载一个虚拟磁盘，可单独用来存放数据

create vm and then use client like remmina to connections with vnc

# virsh create vm-centos01.xml    #or:  # virsh define vm-centos01.xml  
and then start vm: 
# virsh start vm-centos01

backup vm

vm backup snapshot

create xml file named sample_snaoshot.xml

# vim vm-centos01_snapshot.xml
<domainsnapshot>
   <name>vm-centos01_snapshot-1</name>
   <description>vm-centos01_snapshot-1</description>
</domainsnapshot>

Run follow commands

#  virsh snapshot-create vm-centos01 ./vm-centos01_snapshot.xml

check:

# virsh snaoshot-list vm-centos01
