Not with out really jumping through hoops. You could adapt the scripts a
bit an comment out the parts that create the "drives" (eg. lvm/loopback
file), but this is unsupported.

I recommend you just shutdown the machine and do everything "by hand"
while taking a look at how its done in xen-tools, theres not really a
way to automate this.

I usually creata a new image and cp -a the parts i need over to the new vm.
