## Examples

::: example
### Example 1. Getting HPE Nimble Storage Snapshot by Name

This command returns an existing HPE Nimble storage snapshot by name.

```
Get-NimbleSnapshot -Name "DailySnapshot01"
```

::: example
### Example 2. Getting Snapshots of Several HPE Nimble Storage Volumes

This example shows how to get the existing snapshots of several HPE Nimble storage volumes.

```
$storage = Get-NimbleHost -Name "HPE Nimble-FC"
$volume1 = Get-NimbleVolume -Host $storage -Name "VOL01"
$volume2 = Get-NimbleVolume -Host $storage -Name "VOL02"
Get-NimbleSnapshot -Volume $volume1, $volume2
```

Perform the following steps:

1. Run the [`Get-NimbleHost`](get-nimblehost.md) cmdlet. Specify the `Name` parameter value. Save the result to the `$storage` variable.
2. Run the [`Get-NimbleVolume`](get-nimblevolume.md) cmdlet. Set the `$storage` variable as the `Host` parameter value. Specify the `Name` parameter value. Save each volume to a separate variable: `$volume1`, `$volume2`, etc.
3. Run the `Get-NimbleSnapshot` cmdlet. Set the `$volume1` and `$volume2` variables as the `Volume` parameter values.
