The snapshot-level backup in Proxmox VE is not done on the storage
layer, but in the QEMU block layer. That makes it independent of
whether/how the underlying storage supports snapshots and allows for
dirty tracking for incremental backup. See here for further
information/discussion why it's not done on the storage layer:
