% podman-container-checkpoint(1)

## NAME
podman\-container\-checkpoint - Checkpoints one or more running containers

## SYNOPSIS
**podman container checkpoint** [*options*] *container* ...

## DESCRIPTION
Checkpoints all the processes in one or more containers. You may use container IDs or names as input.

## OPTIONS
**-k**, **--keep**

Keep all temporary log and statistics files created by CRIU during checkpointing. These files
are not deleted if checkpointing fails for further debugging. If checkpointing succeeds these
files are theoretically not needed, but if these files are needed Podman can keep the files
for further analysis.

## EXAMPLE

podman container checkpoint mywebserver

podman container checkpoint 860a4b23
