+  Differences with QCOW:
+
+  - Support for multiple incremental snapshots.
+  - Memory management by reference counts.
+  - Clusters which have a reference count of one have the bit
+    QCOW_OFLAG_COPIED to optimize write performance.
+  - Size of compressed clusters is stored in sectors to reduce bit usage 
+    in the cluster offsets.
+  - Support for storing additional data (such as the VM state) in the
+    snapshots.  
+  - If a backing store is used, the cluster size is not constrained
+    (could be backported to QCOW).
+  - L2 tables have always a size of one cluster.
