+## Devbox Snapshot and Resume
+
+**Use case:** Create a devbox, snapshot its disk, resume from the snapshot, and demonstrate that changes in the original devbox do not affect the clone. Uses the async SDK.
+
+**Tags:** `devbox`, `snapshot`, `resume`, `cleanup`, `async`
+
+### Workflow
+- Create a devbox
+- Write a file to the devbox
+- Create a disk snapshot
+- Create a new devbox from the snapshot
+- Modify the file on the original devbox
+- Verify the clone has the original content
+- Shutdown both devboxes and delete the snapshot
+
+### Prerequisites
+- `RUNLOOP_API_KEY`
+
+### Run
+```sh
+uv run python -m examples.devbox_snapshot_resume
+```
+
+### Test
+```sh
+uv run pytest -m smoketest tests/smoketests/examples/
