Hello Pille, Snapshot functionality is not currently built into Gluster. You can, however, take snapshots of the filesystems underneath Gluster. In order to get a consistent snapshot, things will have to be coordinated. You can use a tool such as PSSH to execute commands on multiple servers simultaneously, so this may be somewhat effective for doing this.
