Virtual Machine Snapshots

This feature is still in development!

Freeze the state of a virtual machine instance using snapshot functionality. It is possible to snapshot a running virtual machine, but it takes quite a while. Create a snapshot like:

$ vm cd lxdev01
$ vm image snapshot create
Domain snapshot 1325599831 created

Unfortunately it is not yet possible to label the snapshots. Display all available snapshots for a virtual machine instance with:

$ vm image snapshot list
 Name                 Creation Time             State
---------------------------------------------------
 1325599831           2012-01-03 15:10:31 +0100 shutoff

Revert a virtual machine instance to a snapshot using its timestamp:

$ vm image snapshot restore 1325599831
