Snapshots are stored as snapshotted containers under a private configuration path. For instance, if the container's configuration path is <filename>/var/lib/lxc</filename> and the container is <filename>c1</filename>, then the first snapshot will be stored as container <filename>snap0</filename> under configuration path <filename>/var/lib/lxcsnaps/c1</filename>.

<para> When restoring a snapshot, the last optional argument is the name to use for the restored container. If no name is given, then the original container will be destroyed and the restored container will take its place. Note that deleting the original snapshot is not possible in the case of aufs, overlayfs or zfs backed snapshots.</para>
