Volume Snapshots offer a lot of flexibility. They can be used for:
- Horizontal scaling: Rapid deployment of multiple cloud servers based on existing "golden" volumes.
- Full bare metal backup: A cloud server can be created from an existing volume snapshot in order to extract backed up data.
- Volume parking: A snapshot can be created before deleting a cloud server to keep data without paying for a complete cloud server.
Prior to using this feature make sure it is available on your server: Live Cloning and Volume Snapshot availability
