Create and Restore Snapshots of LXD Linux Virtual Machines

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 ➡️   / pcgeek86   ➡️    / trevorsullivan   All trademarks, logos and brand names are the property of their respective owners.
