lux snap

Compress the data-dir into <snapshotDir>/<name>.tar.zst

lux snap

Snapshots the resolved data-dir to <snapshotDir>/<snapshotName>.tar.zst.

The node should be stopped first (lux down) — snapshotting a live database produces corrupt archives. Use --live to override the safety check.

Examples: lux snap zoo/devnet # → ~/work/lux/snapshots/200202-zoo-devnet-with-contracts.tar.zst lux snap lux/mainnet --tag pre-merge

Usage:

lux snap <network>/<env> [flags]

Flags:

      --live         allow snapshot while node is still up (unsafe)
      --tag string   override the trailing token in the snapshot name (default: with-contracts)
