Description Dan Yasny 2013-01-04 12:10:41 UTC 
Description of problem:
with the following snapshot chain:
base>snap1>snap2 I want to be able to mount snap1 on another guest.

To keep data safe, that would be a snapshot of snap1 (snap1>snap1') mounted in the second guest

This capability will allow us to perform live backups of VM disks, by using a backup VM, that will mount an internal snapshot, and back it up.
