Snapshot and Restore a Devbox

with Runloop · Environment Management

Snapshot a devbox disk and restore it into a new devbox.

  1. Begin an asynchronous disk snapshot of the source devbox.
  2. Poll the snapshot status until it reports complete, looping back while it is in_progress and ending the flow if it errors.
  3. Create a new devbox seeded from the completed disk snapshot.
  4. Wait for the restored devbox to reach the running state.

  • devboxId: The id of the source devbox to snapshot.
  • snapshotName: Optional name for the disk snapshot.
