Recovering Disks from the Recycle Bin

Scenarios

Before recycle bin disks expire, you can recover them from the recycle bin if needed.

Notes and Constraints

• Disks in the recycle bin are all billed on a pay-per-use basis, regardless of their billing modes before deletion. Pay-per-use billing applies after disks are recovered from the recycle bin.

  If you demand yearly/monthly billing for a recovered disk, attach it to an ECS or a BMS, and then change the server's billing mode to yearly/monthly.

  To learn how to change pay-per-use billing to yearly/monthly, see From Pay-per-Use to Yearly/Monthly.

• If your account is frozen or restricted, disks in the recycle bin cannot be recovered.
• Disks deleted together with an ECS have the same retention duration as the ECS. During this time, you can only recover the disks from the ECS side.

Procedure

1. Log in to the management console.
2. Click in the upper left corner and choose Storage > Elastic Volume Service.

   • If the recovery succeeds, the disk will be displayed in the disk list, and the disk status is Available.
   • If the recovery fails, the disk remains in the recycle bin, and the disk status changes to Recovery failed.
