No, it is local storage ext3 on LVM

I am a bit busy these days ... but maybe will have a look for it.

I always get a file with about 2k size generated. Content is
'LibvirtQemudSave' followed by some meaningful zero's and an xml dump of
domain config, is this the header?

Generated file belongs to libvirt-qemu:kvm and has 0600 permissions.
A successful save to e.g. /tmp has also 0600 permissions but belongs to
root:root, maybe this is an indicator?. Both cases initiated "virsh
save" as unprivileged user.
