    Article Summary

    Available in VPC

    Checking snapshot information explains the feature of snapshots based on hypervisors and the layout of the Snapshot menu page.

    Note

    Bare metal servers do not provide the snapshot function.

    Characteristics of snapshot based on hypervisors are as follows:

    • For XEN-based g1 and g2 servers, besides full storage snapshots, you can separately create incremental snapshots. If you create a full storage snapshot, it saves the entire data of the storage based on the creation time. If you create an incremental snapshot, it only saves the changed data of the storage after creating the full storage snapshot.
    • On KVM-based g3 generation servers, snapshots are not distinguished. Additionally, you can create a server image using a created snapshot, but operations on the original storage are not available while snapshots are being created, deleted, or edited.

    Snapshot page

    To check the snapshot page, click the Console > Services > Compute > Server > Snapshot menus, in that order, in NAVER Cloud Platform portal.

    The Snapshot page is laid out as follows:
