Enabling or Disabling Instant Snapshot Restore (for Snapshots in Commercial Use)

Scenarios

The more data on an EVS disk, the more time it takes to create a standard snapshot. Instant Snapshot Restore allows you to create disks or roll back disk data from snapshots even if the snapshots are being created, and the restoration speed and creation speed are fast.

Notes and Constraints

  • Instant Snapshot Restore is supported for the following types of disks: Extreme SSD V2, Extreme SSD, General Purpose SSD V2, General Purpose SSD, and High I/O.
  • You can only enable Instant Snapshot Restore when creating standard snapshots. It cannot be enabled later.
  • You can enable Instant Snapshot Restore for up to seven snapshots for a disk.
  • When Instant Snapshot Restore is enabled and snapshots are being created, you cannot disable Instant Snapshot Restore.
  • When you delete a disk whose standard snapshots have Instant Snapshot Restore enabled, the snapshots will be not deleted, but Instant Snapshot Restore will be disabled automatically.
