A snapshot is a point-in-time copy of a scratch org. The copy is referenced by its unique name in a scratch org definition file.
Use “sf org get snapshot” to get details, including status, about a snapshot creation request.
To create a scratch org from a snapshot, include the “snapshot” option (instead of “edition”) in the scratch org definition file and set it to the name of the snapshot. Then use “sf org create scratch” to create the scratch org.
