]> @LXC_GENERATE_DATE@ lxc-snapshot 1 lxc-snapshot Snapshot an existing container. lxc-snapshot -n, --name name -c, --comment file lxc-snapshot -n, --name name -d, -destroy snapshot-name lxc-snapshot -n, --name name -L, --list -C, --showcomments lxc-snapshot -n, --name name -r, -restore snapshot-name -N, --newname newname lxc-snapshot creates, lists, and restores container snapshots. Snapshots are stored as snapshotted containers under the container's configuration path. For instance, if the container's configuration path is /var/lib/lxc and the container is c1, then the first snapshot will be stored as container snap0 under the path /var/lib/lxc/c1/snaps. If /var/lib/lxcsnaps, as used by LXC 1.0, already exists, then it will continue to be used. -c,--comment comment_file Associate the comment in comment_file with the newly created snapshot. -d,--destroy snapshot-name Destroy the named snapshot. If the named snapshot is ALL, then all snapshots will be destroyed. -L,--list List existing snapshots. -C,--showcomments Show snapshot comments in the snapshots listings. -r,--restore snapshot-name Restore the named snapshot, meaning a full new container is created which is a copy of the snapshot. -N, --newname When restoring a snapshot, the last optional argument if not given explicitly via --newname is the name to use for the restored container. If the newname is identical to the original name of the container, then the original container will be destroyed and the restored container will take its place. Note that deleting the original snapshot is not possible in the case of overlayfs or zfs backed snapshots. &commonoptions; &seealso; Serge Hallyn serge.hallyn@ubuntu.com
