Or use grep on .bash_history directly. However this still doesn't show any instance of "qemu-img create -b ...". What it does show is: $ grep "sudo qemu-img * create" .bash_history $ grep "sudo qemu-img * snapshot" .bash_history sudo qemu-img snapshot -c test win10 sudo qemu-img snapshot -c test Windows10.qcow2 sudo qemu-img snapshot -l Windows10.qcow2 sudo qemu-img snapshot -l sudo qemu-img snapshot -l win10 sudo qemu-img snapshot -l Win10 sudo qemu-img snapshot -l Windows10.qcow2 sudo qemu-img snapshot -l test sudo qemu-img snapshot -l test sudo qemu-img snapshot -l win10.qcow2 sudo qemu-img snapshot -l /home/poc/Win10/win10.qcow2 sudo qemu-img snapshot info /home/poc/Win10/win10.qcow2 sudo qemu-img snapshot info win10.qcow2 sudo qemu-img snapshot info /var/lib/libvirt/images/Windows10.qcow2 sudo qemu-img snapshot -a /home/poc/Win10/win10.qcow2 win10.qcow2 sudo qemu-img snapshot -a /var/lib/libvirt/images/Windows10.qcow2 /home/poc/Win10/win10.qcow2 sudo qemu-img snapshot -a /home/poc/Win10/win10.qcow2 /var/lib/libvirt/images/Windows10.qcow2 sudo qemu-img snapshot -a /var/lib/libvirt/images/Windows10.qcow2 win10.qcow2 sudo qemu-img snapshot -a /var/lib/libvirt/images/Windows10.qcow2 /home/poc/Win10/win10.qcow2 sudo qemu-img snapshot -a /home/poc/Win10/win10.qcow2 /var/lib/libvirt/images/Windows10.qcow2 sudo qemu-img snapshot -a /var/lib/libvirt/images/Windows10.qcow2 /home/poc/Win10/win10.qcow2 sudo qemu-img snapshot -l /var/lib/libvirt/images/Windows10.qcow2 I'm afraid this is more confusing than it needs to be because I was basically in "try anything" mode, but as you can see I did create a snapshot labelled 'test' (and the '-l' option listed it), but did not delete it nor use 'create -b' at any point. Anyway, I don't expect anyone to try and decipher the above.
