Basically, the visioned new interface will soft of be:

collie cluster snapshot save tag # snapshot cluster
collie cluster snapshot load tag # rollback the cluster to the tag
collie cluster snapshot list # list the snapshots.

Cluster-wide snapshot is supposed to be useful for daily backup, faster
cluster deploy (new cluster can simply restore from one snapshot from
other cluster).

Thanks,
Yuan
