WebVirt*** take internal snapshots. This works great, but when the times comes of shrinking your VM images, the "qemu-img convert" command will remove all internal snapshots.
It would be better to take snapshot as "external", this means new snapshot will be taken in different qcow files. So shrinking VMs should be possible without wiping out the snapshots.

Hello, It possible but I think not real in WebVirtCloud now. Maybe will interesting create cloning images? You always can copy back your cloned image.
@romu70 commented on GitHub (Mar 18, 2016):
It's in the way you create the snapshots with qemu.

External snapshots very hard for managing. Simple way for that use cloning.
