The file has been deleted, but it's still in use, so you can do a copy 
from the link in /proc

try with something like

lsof | grep vm-108

you should see something like

kvm <pid> root <fileid>u ..... /storage_lvm/images/vm-108-disk-1.raw 
(deleted)

that's the file you want to backup with a cat or some other tools.

i.e.
cat /proc/<pid>/fd/<fileid> > /backup/<whatever your file is named>

cat /proc/729/fd/5 > /backup/vm108-disk.raw

dunno if there's a way to create a hard-link from that reference.
