Snapshotting a Volume
Video Guide
Document Guide
Step 1:
-
A snapshot is a blueprint or reference to a volume, but it is not a volume, and is the main way Enseva Cloud Services handles data back ups.
-
Data Protection plans take periodic snapshots of volumes, incase they need to be restored at a later date.
-
Snapshots can be restored as a volume or as an image to spawn instances from.
-
Navigate to the Block Storage menu under Storage.
-
Search for, or find the volume to snapshot.
-
The snapshot button appears by clicking on the row, or clicking into the intended volume.
-
Click the snapshot button, name it and click Ok.
-
The snapshot will appear in the Snapshots menu.
Step 2:
-
A snapshot can also be created via the Snapshot menu’s create button.
-
Though finding the intended volume will be a little more difficult using the wizard’s dropdown menu.
