    Create snapshot

  snapshot remove --container=CONTAINER --partition=PARTITION --label=LABEL
    Remove snapshot

  snapshot list [<flags>]
    List snapshots

  snapshot rollback --container=CONTAINER --partition=PARTITION --label=LABEL [<flags>]
    Rollback to snapshot

  snapshot send --container=CONTAINER --label(s)=LABEL(S) [<flags>]
    Send snapshots to file

  snapshot receive --container=CONTAINER --file=FILE
    Receive snapshots from a file

Example:

subutai snapshot create --container foo --partition home --label snap-01012019

subutai snapshot list 
subutai snapshot list --container foo
subutai snapshot list --container foo --partition rootfs

subutai snapshot remove --container foo --partition home --label snap-01012019

subutai snapshot rollback --container foo --partition home --label snap-01012019

subutai snapshot send --container foo --label snap-01012019
subutai snapshot send --container foo --label snap-01012019,snap-01022019

subutai snapshot receive --container bar --file /var/cache/subutai/foo_snap-01012019.tar.gz

Parameters

• Parameter --container specifies a name of target container

• Parameter --partition specifies a target partition of container (home|rootfs|var|opt|config|all). config means parent dataset of container that contains lxc config file e.g. for container foo it is /var/lib/lxc/foo, for partition home it is /var/lib/lxc/foo/home. all is applicable to create, rollback and remove commands and means all home, rootfs, var, opt and config.

• Parameter --label specifies a unique name of snapshot, for subutai snapshot send command can contain two snapshots names separated by comma (no space!)

• Parameter --stop applicable to create and rollback commands, indicates whether to stop container when doing the specified operation

• Parameter --force applicable to rollback command, indicates whether to remove all more recent snapshots if any when rolling back to specified one

• Parameter --file full path to file containing snapshots

Restore container

To restore a container, after using the subutai snapshot receive ... command, the command subutai restore ... must be executed:

subutai restore bar -e {env-id} -n {ip/mask vlan} -s {secret}
