Manage snaps

Outside of whatever facilities a snapped application may provide, additional snap functionality includes data snapshots, usage quotas and control over if when when a service runs.

• Create data snapshots: Make a copy of a snap’s user, system and configuration data.

• Use quota resources: Set processor and memory resource limits on your snaps.

• Disk space awareness: Check whether there’s enough disk space before certain operations.

• Set system options: The main way to configure your snapped applications.

• Control services: Start, stop and restart snapped background service.

• Validation sets: Ensure a defined set of snaps are installed and updated together.

• Use the REST API: Learn how to access and use our REST API.
