Syntax

show system auto-snapshot

Release Information

Command introduced in Junos OS Release 12.3 for EX Series switches.

Description

Display automatic snapshot status information. When the automatic snapshot feature is enabled and the system reboots from the alternate root partition, the switch automatically takes a snapshot of the root file system in the alternate root partition and copies it onto the primary root partition. This automatic snapshot procedure takes place whenever the system reboots from the alternate partition, regardless of whether the reboot from the alternate partition is due to a command or due to a corruption of the primary partition.

When the automatic snapshot procedure is in progress, you cannot run the manual snapshot command, request system snapshot.
