For more information, there are 3 kinds of snapshots that SD supports,
basically in 2 category:

 1 vdi snapshot
   a. snapshot with VM state + disk state (savevm from QEMU monitor)
   b. disk state only (qemu-img snapshot or collie vdi snapshot)

 2 cluster snapshot
   This backup all the read-only objects (as known as snapshot objects)
in the cluster (collie cluster snapshot)

VDI snapshot function has been done and stale to use. Just cluster
snapshot is work in progress.

Thanks,
Yuan
