When creating a snapshot it's stored in a partition not folder. You need to export snapshot to a file archive after you have created it. Then you will be able to specify location. From memory set snapshot export..

Hello.

In VSX environments, are the CLI commands to generate a Snapshot different from those used in traditional environments, or are they maintained?

Can you help me with the syntax of the commands used to generate the Snapshot and then export them, please?

Thank you.

@Matlu creation of a snapshot on a VSX gateway is identical to a none VSX gateway. Syntx can be found here Snapshot Management in Gaia Clish - Regular Snapshots

You have to be aware, you need a restore of the same time from VSX gateway and SMS. This is a result of the specifics how a VSX configuration works. With the new VSNext this is not longer necessary.
