INCUS.SNAPSHOT(1)

💖 INCUS.SNAPSHOT — manage instance snapshots 💖

okay bestie, this is the manual page for incus-snapshot, which is part of the Incus - Command line client family (manual section 1, for the record 🫶). It's the little command that handles your instance snapshots, and honestly? It's giving time-travel for your containers. Iconic.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

incus snapshot [flags]

that's it, that's the whole vibe check. no positional args in the synopsis, just you, the command, and some flags 🎀

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Description:

Manage instance snapshots

periodt. that's the whole job. snapshots of your instances: taken, listed, showed, renamed, restored, deleted — though for the actual doing of those things you go to the sub-commands, which are all listed at the bottom, iykyk 💅

👑 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 👑

these aren't incus snapshot's own flags, bestie — they're inherited from the parent command, so they come with the whole squad 🌈

• --debug[=false] — show ALL the debug messages. every last one. not me reading the debug log at 3am 😭
• --explain[=false] — if the command is valid, explain its parsed arguments instead of running it. so it'll tell you what it thinks you said before it actually does anything — lowkey a translator for your own typing
• --force-local[=false] — force using the local unix socket. no remote shenanigans, we're staying home 🏠
• -h, --help[=false] — print help. your bestie when you're lost ✨
• --project="" — override the source project. default is the empty string "", and yes, keep those backticks in mind if you're copy-pasting from here (the original's got a little stray formatting, we're not gonna pretend otherwise 🙈)
• -q, --quiet[=false] — don't show progress information. silent mode, mysterious mode, main character mode 💀
• --sub-commands[=false] — use with help or --help to view sub-commands. that's how you find your way down the tree 🌳
• -v, --verbose[=false] — show all information messages. the opposite of quiet, if you will
• --version[=false] — print version number 👑

heads up bestie: every one of those defaults is false (or "" for --project), so nothing is switched on unless you ask for it. no cap.
