4.5 Disabling Snapper

If you have set up the root partition with Btrfs during the installation, Snapper auto-

matically creates hourly snapshots of the system, as well as pre- and post-snapshots for

YaST and zypper transactions. Each of these tasks can be disabled as follows:

Disabling Hourly Snapshots

Edit /etc/snapper/configs/root and set TIMELINE_CREATE to no:

TIMELINE_CREATE="no"

Disabling zypper snapshots

Uninstall the package snapper-zypp-plugin

Disabling YaST snapshots

Edit /etc/sysconfig/yast2 and set USE_SNAPPER to no:

USE_SNAPPER="no"

4.6 Creating Snapper Congurations

The way Snapper behaves is dened in a cong le that is specic for each partition

or Btrfs subvolume. These cong les reside under /etc/snapper/configs/.

The default cong installed with Snapper for the / directory is named root. It creates

and manages the YaST and zypper snapshots as well as the hourly backup snapshot for

You may create your own congurations for other partitions formatted with Btrfs or

existing subvolumes on a Btrfs partition. In the following example we will set up a

Snapper conguration for backing up the webserver data residing on a separate,

Btrfs-formatted partition mounted at /srv/www.

You can use either snapper itself or the YaST Snapper module to restore les from

these snapshots. In YaST you need to select your Current Conguration, while you

need to specify your cong for snapper with the global switch -c (e.g. snapper

-c myconfig list).

To create a new Snapper conguration, run snapper create-config:
