Mind you, what libvirt offers isn't proper snapshotting. It saves the VM
state, but not your disk image state, so it's only useful for suspending
VM's and resuming them again, and not for saving multiple snapshots and
resuming any of them at random at a later time. Trying to do so will
cause headaches, heartburn, kill your cat, and likely make your coffee
cold. You've been warned.

You're welcome.
