Restore a Volume from a Snapshot

After taking a snapshot of a volume, you can use the snapshot to create a new volume that’s identical to the original.

  1. Sign in to the Compute Classic console.
  2. Click the Storage tab.
  3. From the Storage Volumes drop-down list, select Storage Snapshots.
  4. Locate the snapshot from which you want to create a volume. From the menu icon menu, select Restore Volume.
  5. In the Restore Storage Volume dialog box, enter a name for the new storage volume and specify a description, if required.
  6. Click Restore.
While the storage volume is being created, the status on the Storage Volume page is Initializing. After the storage volume is created, the status changes to Online.
