The qemu-img info --backing-chain option enumerates the backing file
chain.  For example, for base.qcow2 <- snap1.qcow2 <- snap2.qcow2 the
output becomes:

  $ qemu-img info --backing-chain snap2.qcow2
  image: snap2.qcow2
  file format: qcow2
  virtual size: 100M (104857600 bytes)
  disk size: 196K
  cluster_size: 65536
  backing file: snap1.qcow2
  backing file format: qcow2

  image: snap1.qcow2
  file format: qcow2
  virtual size: 100M (104857600 bytes)
  disk size: 196K
  cluster_size: 65536
  backing file: base.qcow2
  backing file format: qcow2

  image: base.qcow2
  file format: qcow2
  virtual size: 100M (104857600 bytes)
  disk size: 136K
  cluster_size: 65536
