qvm-copy-to-vm and qvm-move-to-vm should check the destination VM to make sure there is sufficient space available before beginning to copy/move files.

Thanks to user Robert Mittendorf for the suggestion.

@marmarek:

Actually I don't think it is a good idea. File copy protocol is
intentionally very simple, including being unidirectional. We don't want
to add any non-essential features there, to keep it as simple as
possible.

BTW None of file copying tools I know do that (cp, rsync, scp, ...).
