+
+## Prerequisite
+
+- For snapshot functionality to be supported for your Kubernetes cluster, the
+  Kubernetes version running in your cluster should be >= v1.17. We also need the
+  `snapshot controller` deployed in your Kubernetes cluster along with `csi-snapshotter`
+  sidecar container.
+  Refer [external-snapshotter](https://github.com/kubernetes-csi/external-snapshotter/)
+  for more information on these sidecar controllers. There should
+  be a `volumesnapshotclass` object present in the cluster
+  for snapshot request to be satisified.
+
+## Snapshot
+
+### Create snapshotclass
+
+```console
+kubectl create -f ../examples/cephfs/snapshotclass.yaml
+```
+
+### Create snapshot
+
+The snapshot is created on/for an existing PVC. You should
+have a PVC in bound state before creating snapshot from it.
+please refer pvc creation [doc](https://github.com/ceph/ceph-csi/blob/master/docs/deploy-cephfs.md)
+for more information on how to create a PVC.
+
+```console
+$ kubectl create -f ../examples/cephfs/snapshot.yaml
+volumesnapshot.snapshot.storage.k8s.io/cephfs-pvc-snapshot created
+```
+
+- Get details about the snapshot
+
+```console
+$ kubectl get volumesnapshot

+
+## Restore snapshot to a new PVC
+
+```console
