I seem to recall a thread on here some time back of someone having exactly this issue. They were trying to have a way of getting to a well defined point so they could enter the image in some system in their organization or something.
If I get a chance I'll look it up. It may be related to this.

It would be advantageous for storing binary diffs if images did not change much between snapshots.
I seem to remember some mention that the image may have its pointers updated and so this would not be the case.
can anyone fill me in on the details?
Would it be possible to save or post process a "sorted" image to take full advantage of a repository which uses binary diffs?
best regards
