I know that the command $ lxc-snapshot exists somewhere, but it seems that it's not available on Debian? Forgive my Linux ignorance - but how do I get a hold of this capability? Is there an alternative for Debian?Also, if you need this info, the result of $ uname -a:Linux debian 3.2.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.2.65-1+deb7u1 x86_64 GNU/Linux

lxc-snapshot is listed in the version of lxc in testing/unstable, which at this time of writing are both the same, namely 1:1.0.6-6.You can see the list of packages atFile list of package lxc/jessie/amd64.Backporting lxc should not be a problem. It does not have much by way of dependencies. Comment if you need more details about this.
