Usage: consul snapshot <subcommand> [options] [args]
This command has subcommands for saving, restoring, and inspecting the state
of the Consul servers for disaster recovery. These are atomic, point-in-time
snapshots which include key/value entries, service catalog, prepared queries,
sessions, and ACLs.
If ACLs are enabled, a management token must be supplied in order to perform
snapshot operations.
Create a snapshot:
$ consul snapshot save backup.snap
Restore a snapshot:
$ consul snapshot restore backup.snap
Inspect a snapshot:
$ consul snapshot inspect backup.snap
Run a daemon process that locally saves a snapshot every hour (available only in
Consul Enterprise) :
$ consul snapshot agent
For more examples, ask for subcommand help or view the documentation.
