Create a volume snapshot

This screen has no create button. Volume snapshots are created from a volume.

1. In the Volumes list, click Action → Data protection → Create Volume Snapshot on the volume row. You can also click Create Snapshot on the Volume Snapshots tab of the volume details.
2. Enter a snapshot name (required, up to 255 characters) and, optionally, a description. You can check the remaining snapshot quota at the bottom of the dialog.
3. Click Create. A snapshot can be created while the volume is Available or In-use.

More volume snapshot actions

The same actions are available from the Action menu at the end of each row and from the buttons at the top of the detail page.

Action	Description	What you enter	Availability
Create volume	Creates a new volume containing the data from the time of the snapshot. The source volume is left as is.	Volume name, description, capacity (at least the snapshot size). The volume type is shown but cannot be changed.	Available
Edit	Changes the snapshot name and description.	Volume snapshot name, description	Available, Error
Delete	Permanently deletes the snapshot. This cannot be undone.	Confirmation	Available, Error

To delete several at once, select them with the checkboxes and use the Delete button at the top of the list.

The create volume dialog also shows the volume count and capacity quotas.

To roll back the source volume

To return the source volume itself to the time of the snapshot instead of creating a new volume, use Data protection → Restore from snapshot in the volume's action menu. The volume must be Available.
