Any solution right now? I have a similar problem like Todor Andreev;
Our daily backup of some virtual machines (qcow2) looks like that:

1. shutdown the VM
2. create a snapshot via: "qemu-img snapshot -c nameofsnapshot..."
3. boot the VM
4. backup the snapshot to another virtual disk via: "qemu-img convert -f qcow2 -O qcow2 -s nameofsnapshot..."
5. DELETE the snapshot from VM via: qemu-img snapshot -d nameofsnapshot...

But the problem is, that our original VM-size growing steadily (although few changes were made) ?!
