- testing showed that the backing file does not need to be on a shared filesystem mounted on both the source and target hosts as long as they both have a copy of the same backing file
- using the --copy-storage-all option worked as well; the disk image on the target host was created without a backing file and was specified to be the same size as the original backing file; it took about 15 minutes to migrate a 32 GB image; one issue is that the migrated disk file is no longer thinly provisioned
- using --copy-storage-inc to copy from a non linked clone to a linked clone copies the full initial disk
- using virt-manager to migrate a Windows 7 VM caused it to blue screen and reboot; it came back up successfully after the reboot
- using virt-manager to migrate a CentOS 6.4 VM was successful
