GitHub user daviftorres added a comment to the discussion: What does Snapshots, 
Backups, and Incremental Snapshots mean in CloudStack

We upgraded our Dev environment to 4.22 and we are playing with instance and 
volume snapshots in the tentative of visualizing the incremental portion.

I can confirm that "instance snapshot" uses QCOW2 internal snapshots.

**Note:** I had to include memory because instance snapshots can only be taken 
with the instance in Running state. Please correct me if I am wrong.
