Hey Helen,

The NFS Generic driver relies on QEMU rollback/commit which in some cases will  merge the intermediary snapshots, so you would loose them. I think that there are others, really hard to tell, as looking at the code may not reveal what some backends do internally and I'm pretty sure not all backend maintainers will promptly inform if they support or not.

In relation to the blueprint above.  I am wondering if there are any drivers that whose later snapshots will not be valid after a revert to an snapshot that is NOT the last in the series

    S1 -------- S2 ---------S3 -------- S4 ---------S5

 

 

If on Fri, I was to revert back to Tuesday’s Snapshot S2, would S3, S4 and S5 still be usable Snapshots?
