# Command: operator snapshot save
|
|
|
|
Retrieves an atomic, point-in-time snapshot of the state of the Nomad servers
|
|
which includes jobs, nodes, allocations, periodic jobs, and ACLs for [outage
|
|
recovery].
|
|
|
|
If ACLs are enabled, a management token must be supplied in order to perform
|
|
snapshot operations.
|
|
|
|
To create a snapshot from the leader server and save it to "backup.snap":
|
|
|
|
```shell-session
|
|
$ nomad snapshot save backup.snap
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To create a potentially stale snapshot from any available server (useful if no
|
|
leader is available):
|
|
|
|
```shell-session
|
|
$ nomad snapshot save -stale backup.snap
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
```plaintext
|
|
nomad operator snapshot save [options] <file>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## General Options
|
|
|
|
@include 'general_options.mdx'
|
|
|
|
## Snapshot Save Options
|
|
|
|
- `-stale`: The stale argument defaults to "false" which means the leader
|
|
provides the result. If the cluster is in an outage state without a leader, you
|
|
may need to set `-stale` to "true" to get the configuration from a non-leader
|
|
server.
