hi Stefan,
Off course we can develop this feature as open source software.
Not sure whether GSoC would be a good route, because as far as I know GSoC
projects will be completed by coming October.
Please let me know of any other possible way we can work together (i.e.
organizational approach).

In my opinion the first approach i.e. tool that understand both block and
file level would be a good idea.

Hi Rich,
Sorry if my mail annoys you.
Actually I have tested the QEMU KVM snapshot features with multiple
overlays and found it to be working fine.
Let’s say for an example, I have installed Windows XP as a QEMU virtual

Hi rich,
Thanks for the answer.

So administrators can keep each software as separate individual qcow2/qed
disks and can put those disks on different layers so that the end user
would see combina
