Checking the EVS Snapshot Storage Usage (for Snapshots in Commercial Use)

Scenarios

You can check the storage used by all snapshots of an EVS disk, the total storage used by all snapshots in a specified period, and the total storage used by all snapshots of your account in a specified region.

Notes and Constraints

• The size of a single snapshot is smaller than the capacity of its source disk.
• A snapshot chain's storage usage may be greater than the capacity of the corresponding disk, because one disk may have multiple snapshots.
