<title>Description</title>
<para>Snapshot units are not configured via unit configuration
files. Nonetheless they are named similar to filenames. A unit
whose name ends in <literal>.snapshot</literal> refers to a
dynamic snapshot of the systemd runtime state.</para>
<para>Snapshots are not configured on disk but created dynamically
via <command>systemctl snapshot</command> (see
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemctl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
for details) or an equivalent command. When created, they will
automatically get dependencies on the currently activated units.
They act as saved runtime state of the systemd manager. Later on,
the user may choose to return to the saved state via
<command>systemctl isolate</command>. They are useful to roll back
to a defined state after temporarily starting/stopping services or
similar.</para>
