Snapshotting a Logical Volume
Snapshots in simplyblock provide point-in-time copies of logical Volumes (LVs), allowing for backup, recovery, or
cloning operations without impacting the active workload. Snapshots can be created using the sbcli
command line interface to protect critical data or enable development and testing environments based on production data.
Prerequisites
- A running simplyblock cluster with an existing logical volume.
sbcli
installed and configured with access to the simplyblock management API.
Creating a Snapshot
To create a snapshot of an existing Logical Volume:
sbcli snapshot add \
<VOLUME_UUID> \
<SNAPSHOT_NAME>
Verification
After creation, the snapshot can be listed:
sbcli snapshot list
