Yeah, sorry misread you where looking for how to do it from windows that why I added the exe

Solved I posted this on https://www.redhat.com/archives/virt-tools-list/2017-August/msg00210.html Laszlo Ersek posted the solution: https://www.redhat.com/archives/virt-tools-list/2017-August/msg00244.html It can be mitigated manually: when the VM boots, interrupt it at the TianoCore splash screen. In the setup utility, navigate to: Boot Maintenance Manager Boot Options Add Boot Option In the file chooser, select <whatever device you have>/EFI/fedora/shim.efi and enter a description (name) for the boot option. Then, Boot Maintenance Manager Boot Options Change Boot Order and move the new boot option to the top of the list. After you commit the changes, you can forcibly reset the VM, or else return to the setup TUI front page, and select Reset there.

@stacksofplates Ah ok. I misread the script last night when I was looking it over. I thought since it was renaming it “snapshot” that it wasn’t copying the base image. I missed the $diskpath variable at the top of the script. Thanks for clearing that up! This is a handy little script. I ended up installing the QEMU guest agent in my VM so I’ll add the “—quiesce” switch to the backup command line. Thanks for sharing this!
