Schnapps savepoint

Software SW help
1

There is nice feature of schnapps: savepoint, which is potentially life (ass) saving one, in case of testing/experimenting OS config… Question is - does it survive OS rebooting? I wasn’t able to find answer in documentation :frowning: Similarly, same question of at command…does it survive OS rebooting?

You mean a factory reset? Yes, of course … feel free to try a reboot and a or factory reset.

I think schnapps rollback will usually be the best and more convenient option, not a factory reset.

As a precaution in case of a total disk crash I export the last system images

schnapps export 442 /srv/snap

and use SFTP (Bitvise SSH or similar software) to download to my desktop computer

No, I don’t mean factory reset, I mean exactly savepoint, which is another feature. I know that there is rollback feature as another option, and I admit that it saved my ass recently, when I played with network settings and my MOX became unaccessible due to this :wink:
So my question still remains: does it (i.e. schnapps savepoint) survive OS rebooting?
Similarly, same question of at command…does it survive OS rebooting?
Note: your notice of exporting schnapps is worth remembering - I did the same to be on safe side in case of device RAM malfunctioning :wink:

I’m sorry… I wasn’t exactly answering your question …

Nema problema (no problem) :wink:
Hoping somebody else…

BTW I know I can simulate schnapps savepoint by cron and/or at - but is seems to me that savepoint of schnapps could be more straightforwarding…

As far as I was able to find and test, it will NOT survive reboot - schnapps savepoint uses at command, which, unfortunately, as I tested it, will not survive reboot.
