snapshots create

acloud-toolkit snapshots create

Create a snapshot of a Kubernetes PVC (persistent volume claim).

Synopsis

This command creates a snapshot of a Kubernetes PVC, allowing you to capture a point-in-time copy of the data stored in the PVC. Snapshots can be used for data backup, disaster recovery, and other purposes.

To create a snapshot, you need to provide the name of the PVC to snapshot, as well as a name for the snapshot. You can also specify a namespace if the PVC is not in the current namespace context. If no snapshot class is specified, the default snapshot class will be used.
