Hi all,

I have a query regarding the external snapshot in qcow2 also known as backing file.

In qemu I created a external snapshot and then create its xml in order to boot it from VIRSH. But that is complex process.

I want to know whether there is any command in LIBVIRT which can create external snapshot(Backing file) and also we can boot from it?
