Listing Snapshots

List File Storage snapshots of file systems.

Snapshots are accessible on the file system at ./snapshot/<snapshot_name>.

Note

When you use an NFSv3 client to perform operations such as ls, du, or find on the snapshot directory, the service automatically exports the directory. The client uses nfs_d_automount() to detect and mount the directory. After the directory is detected and mounted the first time, the client mounts the directory automatically.
    1. Open the navigation menu and click Storage. Under File Storage, click File Systems.
    2. In the List scope section, under Compartment, select a compartment.
    3. Click the name of the file system that you want to see snapshots for.
    4. On the file system's details page, under Resources, click Snapshots.

  • Use the fs snapshot list command and required parameters to list snapshots for a file system:

    oci fs snapshot list --file-system-id <file_system_OCID>

    For a complete list of parameters and values for CLI commands, see the CLI Command Reference.

  • Run the ListSnapshots operation to list snapshots.
