Vultr Snapshot API
A snapshot is a point-in-time image of an instance. We do not stop the instance when taking a snapshot. Booting from a snapshot is similar to rebooting after a non-graceful restart. Snapshots are physically the same as [backups](#tag/backup), but snapshots are manual while backups run automatically on a schedule. See our [Snapshot Quickstart Guide](https://www.vultr.com/docs/vultr-vps-snapshots) for more information.
