Manages snapshots of the configuration of a node's shards and endpoints.

You can create node snapshots and use them to restore the node's shards and endpoints to a configuration from a previous point in time. If you restore a node from a snapshot (for example, after an event such as failover or maintenance), the node's shards have the same placement and roles as when the snapshot was created.

## `node snapshot create`

Creates a snapshot of a node's current configuration, including the placement of shards and endpoints on the node and the shards' roles.

```sh
rladmin node <ID> snapshot create <name>
```

### Parameters

| Parameter             | Type/Value                     | Description                                                                               |
|-----------------------|--------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| node                  | integer                        | Creates a snapshot of the specified node                    |
| name                  | string                         | Name of the created snapshot                                |

### Returns

Returns `Done` if the snapshot was created successfully. Otherwise, returns an error.

### Example

```sh
$ rladmin node 1 snapshot create snap1
Creating node snapshot 'snap1' for node:1
Done.
```

## `node snapshot delete`

Deletes an existing snapshot of a node.

```sh
rladmin node <ID> snapshot delete <name>
```

{{<note>}}
You cannot use this command to delete a snapshot created by maintenance mode. As of Redis Enterprise Software version 7.4.2, only the latest maintenance mode snapshot is kept.
