LXC-SNAPSHOT(1)						       LXC-SNAPSHOT(1)

NAME
       lxc-snapshot - Snapshot an existing container.

SYNOPSIS
       lxc-snapshot -n, --name name [ -c, --comment file ]

       lxc-snapshot -n, --name name -L, --list	[ -C, --showcomments  ]

       lxc-snapshot -n, --name name -r, -restore snapshot-name [   newname ]

DESCRIPTION
       lxc-snapshot creates, lists, and restores container snapshots.

       Snapshots are stored as snapshotted containers under a private configu‐
       ration 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  configuration  path	 /var/lib/lxc‐
       snaps/c1.

OPTIONS
       -c,--comment comment_file
	      Associate	 the  comment  in  comment_file with the newly created
	      snapshot.

       -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 cre‐
	      ated which is a copy of the snapshot.

       newname
	      When  restoring  a  snapshot,  the last optional argument is the
	      name to use for the restored container. If  no  name  is	given,
	      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 aufs, overlayfs or zfs
	      backed snapshots.

COMMON OPTIONS
       These options are common to most of lxc commands.

       -?, -h, --help
	      Print a longer usage message than normal.

       --usage
	      Give the usage message

       -q, --quiet

       -P, --lxcpath=PATH
	      Use an alternate container path. The default is /container.

       -o, --logfile=FILE
	      Output to an alternate log FILE. The default is no log.

       -l, --logpriority=LEVEL

	      Possible	values	are  : FATAL, CRIT, WARN, ERROR, NOTICE, INFO,
	      DEBUG.

	      Note that this option is setting the priority of the events  log
	      in  the  alternate  log file. It do not have effect on the ERROR
	      events log on stderr.
