See recent Linux390 list archives for all the reasons why this is a bad idea. Short version: if you can afford to shut down the VM system completely, you can use methods outside VM and/or Linux to do reliable dumps of VM volumes. If you dump an active system (particularly one hosting Linux systems), you are likely to get garbage.
