\fB\-\-source\-instant\-snapshot\-group\fR=\fISOURCE_INSTANT_SNAPSHOT_GROUP\fR

The name or URL of the source instant snapshot group. If the name is provided,
the instant snapshot group's zone or region must be specified with
\-\-source\-instant\-snapshot\-group\-zone or
\-\-source\-instant\-snapshot\-group\-region accordingly. To create a snapshot
group from an instant snapshot group in a different project, specify the full
path to the instant snapshot group. If the URL is provided, format should be:
