# Filestore Snapshot

Filestore Snapshot in Google Cloud is a point-in-time copy of a Filestore instance. It allows you to preserve the state of your file system data for backup, recovery, or cloning purposes. Snapshots are stored independently from the source instance, enabling you to restore data to a new or existing Filestore instance without impacting the original.

```
gcp.file_snapshot
