- user@switch> show system snapshot media external
- Information for snapshot on external (da1s1)
- Creation date: Oct 1320:23:23 2009
- JUNOS version on snapshot:
- jbase : 10.0I20090726_0011_user
- jcrypto-ex: 10.0I20090726_0011_user

Meaning
The output shows the date and time when the snapshot was created and the packages that are part of the snapshot. The date and time match the time when you created the snapshot.
You can compare the output of this command to the output of the show system software command to ensure that the snapshot contains the same packages as the software currently running the switch.
