Find the snapshot to export by listing snapshots and their corresponding VMs: xe snapshot-list params=uuid,name-label,snapshot-of
Set the snapshot to be exportable: xe snapshot-param-set is-a-template=false uuid=<snapshot uuid>
Export the snapshot to a file: xe vm-export uuid= filename=<snapshot uuid>
Later, it can be imported: xe vm-import filename=<path> preserve=true force=true sr-uuid=<uuid> (xe sr-list to find the sr uuid)
