# Consul Snapshot
Command: `consul snapshot`
Add snapshot inspect subcommand (#2451)
2016-10-31 23:37:27 +00:00
The `snapshot` 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. This command is available in Consul 0.7.1 and later.

## Basic Examples
To create a snapshot and save it as a file called "backup.snap":
```text
$ consul snapshot save backup.snap
Saved and verified snapshot to index 8419
```
To restore a snapshot from a file called "backup.snap":
```text
$ consul snapshot restore backup.snap
Restored snapshot
```
