snapshots

See also: snapshot, restore, info, delete

The multipass snapshots command lists the available snapshots. Here’s a sample output:

Instance        Snapshot    Parent      Comment
calm-squirrel   snapshot1   --          --
calm-squirrel   snapshot3   snapshot1   Before restoring snapshot2

The multipass snapshots command will truncate long snapshot comments, as well as those containing newlines. You can use info to view them in full.

You can also use the --format option to get machine-readable output (CSV, JSON, or YAML). For example, multipass snapshots --format yaml:

calm-squirrel:
  - snapshot: snapshot1
      - parent: ~
        comment: ~
  - snapshot: snapshot3
      - parent: snapshot1
        comment: Before restoring snapshot2

The full multipass help snapshots output explains the available options:
