Summary

  • Adds a new section to /docs/volumes/snapshots/ documenting the single-command fly scale count --with-new-volumes --from-snapshot <snapshot id> 1 workflow for creating a Machine with a volume populated from a snapshot.
  • Addresses a recurring user need raised in a support ticket: users repeatedly search the docs for this command when restoring from a snapshot.

Closes superfly/docs-tracking#242

Documents the one-shot `fly scale count --with-new-volumes --from-snapshot`
command so users restoring from a snapshot don't have to create the volume
and clone a Machine as two separate steps.

Closes #242
