💖 NAME 💖

incus-snapshot-restore — restore instance snapshots, bestie. it's giving time travel but for containers. 🕰️✨

this page lives in the Incus - Command line client(1) manual, and it's your girl for undoing an oopsie on an instance. no cap. 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

incus snapshot restore [:]  [flags]

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so here's the tea ☕ — this command restores an instance from a snapshot. that's it. that's the vibe. it's lowkey iconic. 👑

a couple of things you gotta know before you go wild:

  • if you pass --stateful, then the running state gets restored too. like, not just the disk — the whole situation. main character behavior fr fr. 💅
  • if you pass --diskonly, then only the disk gets restored. just the disk. nothing else. minimal. clean. 🧚

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • --diskonly[=false] — whether or not to restore the instance's disk only. yes it really is that simple. 🍓
  • --stateful[=false] — whether or not to restore the instance's running state from the snapshot (if available — key detail, don't forget it. 😭)

💜 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 💜

these are the ones you didn't ask for but got anyway, like a group project. but they're actually useful, so. 🫶

  • --debug[=false] — show all the debug messages. every last one. it's a lot. 🙈
  • --explain[=false] — if the command is valid, explain its parsed arguments instead of running it. like a rehearsal before the actual performance. ⭐
  • --force-local[=false] — force using the local unix socket. 🔌
  • -h, --help[=false] — print help. the classic. the legend. 🌈
  • --project="" — override the source project. 🎯
  • -q, --quiet[=false] — don't show progress information. silence is golden, periodt. 💀
  • --sub-commands[=false] — use with help or --help to view sub-commands. iykyk. ✨
  • -v, --verbose[=false] — show all information messages. the opposite of quiet, obviously. 🔥
  • --version[=false] — print version number. 💫

🌟 EXAMPLE 🌟

incus snapshot restore u1 snap0

that restores instance u1 to snapshot snap0. look at her go. she ate. 👑
