Since this step is way more prone to fail compared to the existing
pre-creation step (that is used just to allow labeling the file before
passing it to qemu) I'd rather see this happen prior to actually
starting to take the snapshot (at this point, the memory was already
snapshotted and the VM is possibly paused, so if this takes a long time
or fails we would waste the memory snapshot).

This definitely is not enough to pass the backing source path. Once you
have a network path you need a lot of the fields virStorageSource
structure to format the path since it needs to format the
qemu-compatible backing string.
A better way will be to format the string from backingSrc right at this
point to the qemu source string and use that.
Additionally, you'll also need

Since you already are passing @src, there should be no need to use
@path.
Additionally since @path contains authentication data for some protocols
we should not pass it to commands that would show in the process list
with the arguments. (We already do that when starting the VM. I have it on
my todo list)

This check doesn't make sense since storageFileCreate is not used. The
function that calls qemu-img should make sure that qemu-img actually is
able to create the file.
