Can you share more details of how you make that work well? What hypervisor, what backup/replication, for instance? I can only imagine that being a world of irritation.

It's been a few years since I used it, but Virtualbox (free) had perfectly good suspend/restore functionality, and the suspended VM state was just a file.

I use virt-manager and suspend/restore for the same feature, doesn't using an oracle product (with all the side-effects that brings).

I use libvirt/kvm/qemu. It works fine to do all the things mentioned like snapshots.
