Ok, just to be sure, that i understand it right:
To be consistent on backup i have to do an:
- virsh domfsfreeze $vmname
- virsh backup-begin $vmname
- virsh domfsthaw $vmname
Do i have to wait for the "virsh domfsthaw $vmname" until the backup is
finished or
just after the "backup-begin" ?

The backup job always backs-up only the current guest-visible state of
the disks.

currently running snapshot, right ?
