Snapshot

Before we can create a snapshot we must register a repository where snapshots will be stored, specifying the type (eg 'fs' for filesystem) and optionally some settings. We should specify at least the location of the repository. Full settings can be found here.

This example creates a repostory called "_snapshot" located at "/mount/backup"

client.execute {
  repository create "_snapshot" `type` "fs" settings Map("location" -> "/mount/backup")
}

At some moment in time we can request a snapshot by specifying a name for the snapshot and the repository to save the snapshot to. In this example waitForCompletion is set which will not complete the future until the the snapshot is completed. If this is set to false (the default), the future will complete as soon as the request has been received.

client.execute {
  snapshot create "snap1" in "_snapshot" waitForCompletion true
}

Later on we can restore the snapshot with:

client.execute {
  snapshot restore "snap1" from "_snapshot"
}

Snapshots can be deleted thus:

client.execute {
  snapshot delete "snap1" in "_snapshot"
}
