# Snapshots

### Exporting an image

From inside the node bash session:

```
tlnt-node snapshot export --block <BLOCK>
```

If using docker you will need to copy the exported snapshot to the host like so:

```
docker cp <containerId>:/file/path/within/container /host/path/target
```

For example from host dir it would look like this:

```
docker cp <containerID>:/home/tlnt/TLNT_NET-BMN362FVdqj5UrApPHNBBJnCiawVzjM8aQmEYWhsRnkxVTTSmu1-1004069.full ~/TLNT_NET-BMN362FVdqj5UrApPHNBBJnCiawVzjM8aQmEYWhsRnkxVTTSmu1-1004069.full
```

To copy file from a remote host to local host SCP example:

```
$ scp username@from_host:file.txt /local/directory/
```

Copy file from local host to a remote host SCP example:

```
$ scp file.txt username@to_host:/remote/directory/
```

### Importing a snapshot

You can use wget to download the file if it is accessible on the internet

`sudo apt-get update`

`sudo apt-get install wget`

Then

`wget <https://path.to.file.fileextesion>`

Example using the file below would be

`wget https://loonfilms.com/tlnt.net.snapshot.6.16.22.zip`

Here is an example of a snapshot from block 1004069 we will soon be doing regular snapshots and will publish the repo here when those nightly snapshots are online and ready to do.

Latest snapshot `https://loonfilms.com/tlnt.net.snapshot.6.16.22.zip`

Install zip with `sudo apt-get update`&#x20;

Then

`sudo apt-get install zip`

Then

`unzip tlnt.net.snapshot.6.16.22.zip`

From inside the node bash session

```
tlnt-node snapshot import FILE --block <BLOCK_HASH>
```

Example using the file above:

```
tlnt-node snapshot import TLNT_NET-BMN362FVdqj5UrApPHNBBJnCiawVzjM8aQmEYWhsRnkxVTTSmu1-1004069.full --block BMN362FVdqj5UrApPHNBBJnCiawVzjM8aQmEYWhsRnkxVTTSmu1
```

If your node is in archive mode you will need to change it inside the tlnt-node.conf file (this example uses nano, you can use any editor like vim, vi, nano etc.

```
sudo nano /etc/supervisor/conf.d/tlnt-node.conf
```

Remove the `--history archive` param from line 3 and save/exit.

Then exit the node bash session

`exit`

`docker ps`

`docker stop <containerID>`

`docker start <containerID>`

`docker exec -it <containerID> bash`

`tlnt-client bootstrapped`

Once bootstrapped

`supervisorctl restart all`

Done.
