Bad Request - Invalid parameters or snapshot limit reached
401
No autorizado: token de autenticación no válido o faltante
404
Not Found - Server does not exist
Nota: You can have a maximum of 5 snapshots per server. Creating a snapshot while the server is running may result in filesystem inconsistencies. For best results, stop the server before creating a snapshot.
Restaurar desde una instantánea
Restore a server to the state captured in a snapshot. This will overwrite all current data on the server.

Snapshots vs Backups
Understanding when to use snapshots versus backups:
API de instantáneas
Objetivo: Quick point-in-time recovery
Velocidad: Faster to create and restore (3-15 min)
Caso de uso: Before risky operations (updates, config changes)
Almacenamiento: Stored on same infrastructure
Límite: 5 snapshots per server
Ideal para: Short-term rollback capability
API de copias de seguridad
Objetivo: Long-term data protection
Velocidad: Slower to create and restore (varies)
Caso de uso: Regular automated data protection
Almacenamiento: Separate backup storage
Límite: 10 manual + automatic backups
Ideal para: Disaster recovery and compliance
Best Practices
Before Updates: Create a snapshot before major system updates
Testing: Use snapshots when testing configuration changes
Combined Strategy: Use both snapshots (short-term) and backups (long-term)
Clean Up: Delete old snapshots after successful updates
Server State: Consider stopping the server before creating critical snapshots
