NAME

6       systemd.snapshot - Snapshot unit configuration
7

SYNOPSIS

9       snapshot.snapshot
10

DESCRIPTION

12       Snapshot units are not configured via unit configuration files.
13       Nonetheless they are named similar to filenames. A unit whose name ends
14       in ".snapshot" refers to a dynamic snapshot of the systemd runtime
15       state.
16
17       Snapshots are not configured on disk but created dynamically via
18       systemctl snapshot (see systemctl(1) for details) or an equivalent
19       command. When created, they will automatically get dependencies on the
20       currently activated units. They act as saved runtime state of the
21       systemd manager. Later on, the user may choose to return to the saved
22       state via systemctl isolate. They are useful to roll back to a defined
23       state after temporarily starting/stopping services or similar.
