Snapshots
Compute devices only
The Snapshot feature is currently available only for Compute devices.
The Snapshot feature allows users to create a backup of the current device configuration during an interactive session. This backup includes all device settings, installed applications, and loaded models.
To create a snapshot
- Click Snapshot to open the Create Snapshot dialog.
- Enter a Snapshot Name and, optionally, a description.
- Click Save.
It may take up to two hours to complete creation of the snapshot. To view submitted snapshot requests, navigate to Images -> Snapshots. The status of each snapshot is indicated by an icon:
- Yellow — snapshot creation is in progress
- Green — snapshot was created successfully
- Red — snapshot creation failed
To use an existing snapshot
To use a successfully saved snapshot, select it on the Device Configuration screen when creating an automated job or interactive session.
- Click Configure to expand the available flash configurations.
- Select Snapshot.
- From the drop-down menu, select the snapshot you wish to use.
