15.7. Restoring a Virtual Machine

You can use virsh to restore a virtual machine that you previously saved with the virsh save option :

virsh restore [filename]

This restarts the saved virtual machine, which may take some time. The virtual machine's name and UUID are preserved but are allocated for a new id.
