In this video, we explore snapshots for LXD virtual machines. Using the "lxc" CLI tool, you can perform common snapshot management operations on Linux VMs, including: ➡️ Taking new LXD VM snapshots ➡️ Deleting LXD VM snapshots ➡️ Restore LXD VM snapshots to the same VM ➡️ Restore LXD VM snapshots to new VMs ➡️ Configure an LXD snapshot expiration period ➡️ Configure automated cron schedules for taking LXD VM snapshots Although snapshots aren't a suitable mechanism for creating virtual machine backups, you can use them to quickly restore your VM rootfs to a previous point-in-time. 📺 CHAPTER LIST ------------------------------ 00:00 - Intro to LXD Snapshots 01:13 - What are LXD Snapshots? 03:57 - LXD Snapshot Configuration Options 06:00 - Automatic LXD Snapshot Expiration 07:40 - Restore LXD Snapshots to VMs 09:38 - Copy LXD Snapshot to New VM 10:48 - Learn LXD Snapshots With Practice Tasks 12:10 - Hands-on Creating LXD VM Snapshot 17:40 - Delete LXD VM Snapshots 18:25 - Restore LXD VM Snapshot to rootfs 21:36 - Copy LXD VM Snapshot to New VM 23:01 - Configure Automatic LXD Snapshot Expiration Check out the Open Source Software playlist for more videos! 📺    • Open Source Software   Please follow me on these other social channels! ➡️ https://trevorsullivan.net/ ➡️ https://github.com/pcgeek86 ➡️ https://twitter.com/pcgeek86 ➡️ null All trademarks, logos and brand names are the property of their respective owners.
