We aim to fix that in the future (that is, eventually libvirt will track
backing information even for offline domains), but until that happens, I
can agree with documenting the limitation. I will touch this up and
push it later today.

(about having backing file format in the snap metadata)
Pls include whichever you think is more appropraite.
