Snapshot

A snapshot is an instant capture of a disk (Persistent Volume) that allows you to restore it later when needed. This feature is valuable for safeguarding against potential data loss or issues that may arise from significant changes to your disk.

Create a Snapshot​

To create a snapshot of a disk, navigate to the Storage page in ArvanCloud Container user panel and click on the "New Snapshot" button.

Create Snapshot

Next, select the disk for which you want to create a snapshot and specify a name for it. You can also add a note to the snapshot for future management.

Snapshot Details

To prevent the risk of losing new data during this process, it's recommended to enable "Safe Snapshot" option to automatically stop and restart the application.

Snapshots can be viewed and managed on the Storage page.
