The most of open-source distributed systems provide `cluster snapshots` functionality, but the Apache Ignite doesn't have such one. Cluster snapshots will allow users to copy their data from an active cluster and load it later on another, such as copying data from a production system into a smaller QA or development system.

Configuration

Snapshot storage path allowed to be configured by IgniteConfiguration , by default IGNITE_HOME/work/snapshots  directory used.

public class IgniteConfiguration {
    /**
     * Directory where will be stored all results of snapshot operations. If {@code null} then
     * relative {@link #DFLT_SNAPSHOT_DIRECTORY} will be used.
     */
    private String snapshotPath;}
