Now you can either proceed to next step and do regular dump, or perform the pre-dump step again. In the latter case pre-dump would generate another set of pre-dump images which will contain memory changed after previous pre-dump. Doing several pre-dump iterations may reduce the amount of data dumped on dump stage and thus lead to shorter freeze time.

Note, that if you're going to perform more than one pre-dump steps, you should create different directories for images and properly reference them with the <code>--images-dir</code> and the <code>--prev-images-dir</code> for all pre-dump and dump steps.

Note that:
[src]# scp -r <path-to-images-dir> <dst>:/<path-to-images>
[src]# scp -r <path-to-images-dir> <dst>:/<path-to-images>
or using rsync
[src]# rsync -rl <path-to-images-dir>/ <dst>:<path-to-images>
Note: It is important to enable "copy symlinks as symlinks" (<code>-l</code> for <code>rsync</code>) to ensure that symlinks are preserved between previous directories. When <code>-r</code> is passed to <code>scp</code> it will follow symbolic links encountered in the tree traversal.
