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

We upgraded our Dev environment to 4.22, and we are testing instance and volume 
snapshots to visualize the incremental portion.

I can confirm that **instance snapshots** use QCOW2's **internal snapshots**.

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