.SH "EXAMPLES"

To create a snapshot with the name 'my\-snapshot' from an instance called
\'my\-instance' in 'us\-central1\-c' and the source file share called 'my\-fs',
run:

    \-\-instance=my\-instance \-\-file\-share=my\-fs \e
    \-\-instance\-zone=us\-central1\-c
.RE

To create a snapshot with the name 'my\-snapshot' in a particular region like
\'us\-central1' from an instance called 'my\-instance' in 'us\-central1\-c' and
the source file share called 'my\-fs', run:

$ gcloud alpha filestore snapshots create my\-snapshot \e
    \-\-instance=my\-instance \-\-file\-share=my\-fs \e
    \-\-instance\-zone=us\-central1\-c \-\-region=us\-central1
