NAME

       systemd.snapshot - Snapshot unit configuration

SYNOPSIS

       snapshot.snapshot

DESCRIPTION

       Snapshot units are not configured via unit configuration files. Nonetheless they are named similar to
       filenames. A unit name whose name ends in .snapshot refers to a dynamic snapshot of the systemd runtime
       state.

       Snapshots are not configured on disk but created dynamically via systemctl snapshot (see systemctl(8) for
       details) or an equivalent command. When created, they will automatically get dependencies on the
       currently activated units. They act as saved runtime state of the systemd manager. Later on, the user may
       choose to return to the saved state via systemctl isolate. They are useful to roll back to a defined
       state after temporarily starting/stopping services or similar.
