Syntax

prlctl snapshot <vm_ID|vm_name> [ -n , --name <name> ] [ -d , --description <desc> ]

prlctl snapshot-list <vm_ID|vm_name> [ -t , --tree ] [ -i , --id <snapshot_ID> ]

prlctl snapshot-switch <vm_ID|vm_name> -i , --id <snapshot_ID> --skip-resume

prlctl snapshot-delete <vm_ID|vm_name> -i , --id <snapshot_ID>

Options

Name	Description
`<vm_ID\|vm_name>`	The virtual machine ID or name.
-n, --name `<name>`	User-defined snapshot name. Names with white spaces must be enclosed in quotation marks.
-d, --description `<desc>`	User-defined snapshot description. Descriptions with white spaces must be enclosed in quotation marks.
-t, --tree	Displays the snapshot list as a tree. The default display format is tabular with Parent Snapshot ID and Snapshot ID as columns.
-i, --id `<snapshot_ID>`	Use with `prlctl snapshot-list` to specify the ID of the snapshot to use as the root. If this parameter is omitted, the entire snapshot tree will be displayed. Use with `prlctl snapshot-switch` to specify the ID of the snapshot to revert to. Use with `prlctl snapshot-delete` to specify the ID of the snapshot to delete.
--skip-resume	Skips automatic virtual machine resume when switching to snapshots of running virtual machines.

Note: If the snapshot you want to delete has child snapshots derived from it, they will not be deleted.
