Lists snapshots for the host or one virtual machine

cloudmin list-snapshots [--multiline | --json]
                        [--name-only | --id-only]
                        [--name name | --id uuid]

With no machine selector, lists snapshots across the host. Supply --name or --id to limit the list to one virtual machine. --id is the machine UUID; a restore point’s own identifier is passed as --snapshot to restore or delete commands.

The default table shows snapshot ID, machine, label, state and creation time. --multiline or --json provides detailed records. --id-only and --name-only both print snapshot IDs, since labels need not be unique.

Cloudmin can show externally created snapshots, but it may not support restoring or deleting them. Cloudmin-managed snapshots contain disk state and saved hardware configuration, not running memory. They remain on the host’s storage and do not replace backups stored elsewhere.
