require that if specified, the snapshot mode must not
override any snapshot mode attached to the corresponding
domain disk, while others like qemu allow this field to
override the domain default. If the snapshot mode is
external (whether specified or inherited), then there is
an optional sub-element <code>source</code>, with an
attribute <code>file</code> giving the name, and an
optional sub-element <code>driver</code>, with an
attribute <code>type</code> giving the driver type (such
as qcow2), of the new file created by the external
snapshot of the new file. If <code>source</code> is not
given and the disk is backed by a local image file (not
a block device or remote storage), a file name is
generated that consists of the existing file name
with anything after the trailing dot replaced by the
snapshot name. Remember that with external
snapshots, the original file name becomes the read-only
snapshot, and the new file name contains the read-write
delta of all disk changes since the snapshot.
