GCLOUD COMPUTE DISKS SNAPSHOT(1)              GCLOUD COMPUTE DISKS SNAPSHOT(1)


NAME

       gcloud_compute_disks_snapshot - snapshot Google Compute Engine
              persistent disks


SYNOPSIS

       gcloud compute disks snapshot DISK_NAME [DISK_NAME ...]
              [--description DESCRIPTION] [--format FORMAT] [--help]
              [--project PROJECT_ID] [--quiet, -q]
              [--snapshot-names SNAPSHOT_NAME [SNAPSHOT_NAME ...]]
              [--zone ZONE] [-h]


DESCRIPTION

       gcloud compute disks snapshot creates snapshots of persistent disks.
       Snapshots are useful for backing up data or copying a persistent disk.


POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS

       DISK_NAME [DISK_NAME ...]
           The names of the disks to snapshot.


FLAGS

       --description DESCRIPTION
           An optional, textual description for the snapshots being created.

       --snapshot-names SNAPSHOT_NAME [SNAPSHOT_NAME ...]
           Names to assign to the snapshots. Without this option, the name of
           each snapshot will be a random, 16-character hexadecimal number
           that starts with a letter. The values of this option run parallel
           to the disks specified. For example,

               $ gcloud compute disks snapshot my-disk-1 my-disk-2 my-disk-3 \
                   --snapshot-name snapshot-1 snapshot-2 snapshot-3

           will result in my-disk-1 being snapshotted as snapshot-1, my-disk-2
           as snapshot-2, and so on.

       --zone ZONE
           The zone of the disks to snapshot. If not specified, you will be
           prompted to select a zone.

           To avoid prompting when this flag is omitted, you can set the
           compute/zone property:

               $ gcloud config set compute/zone ZONE

           A list of zones can fetched by running:

               $ gcloud compute zones list

           To unset the property, run:

               $ gcloud config unset compute/zone

           Alternatively, the zone can be stored in the environment variable
           CLOUDSDK_COMPUTE_ZONE.

   GLOBAL FLAGS
       --format FORMAT
           Specify a format for printed output. By default, a command-specific
           human-friendly output format is used. Setting this flag to one of
           the available options will serialize the result of the command in
           the chosen format and print it to stdout. Supported formats are:
           json, text, yaml.

       --help
           Display detailed help.

       --project PROJECT_ID
           The Google Cloud Platform project name to use for this invocation.
           If omitted then the current project is assumed.

       --quiet, -q
           Disable all interactive prompts when running gcloud commands. If
           input is required, defaults will be used, or an error will be
           raised.

       -h
           Print a summary help and exit.
