for the case of hierarchical snapshots
qemu-img(1) allows to create snapshots of disk images that are stored in the same file. In addition the "create" command has the "-b BACKING_FILE" option
If the option BACKING_FILE is specified, then the image will record only the differences from BACKING_FILE.
Is it something close to "hierarchical snapshots"?
