# Check snapshot information

Available in VPC

The following describes the feature of snapshots based on hypervisors and the layout of the **Snapshot** menu page.

              Note

              

Bare metal servers do not provide the snapshot feature.

Characteristics of snapshot based on hypervisors are as follows:

- XEN-based g1, g2 servers (HDD, SSD)
  - You can create incremental snapshots separately from full storage 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.
- KVM-based g3 servers (CB, FB)
  - CB1, FB1: the capacity of all snapshots, whether full or incremental, is the same.
  - CB2, FB2: the first snapshot is created as a full snapshot, and subsequent snapshots only store the changed data.
  - Additionally, g3 server-based snapshots 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 **Console** > **Menu** > **All Services** > **Compute** > **Server** > **Snapshot** in order on the NAVER Cloud Platform portal.

The snapshot result page is laid out as follows: ![server-snapshot-vpc_screen_new_ko](https://cdn.document360.io/6998976f-9d95-4df8-b847-d375892b92c2/Images/Documentation/server-snapshot-vpc_screen_new_en.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-27T16%3A28%3A49Z&se=2026-10-27T17%3A28%3A49Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=g7D62nOMhLkEm2vX6KA4l6gzc8ueiEtwV%2FaU4yn7hJc%3D)

| Area | Description |
| --- | --- |
| ① Menu name | Name of the menu currently being checked and the number of created snapshots |
| ② Basic features | Features provided upon initial entry to the **Snapshot** menu - **[Create storage]** button: click to [create new storage with the selected snapshot](/docs/en/server-snapshot-storage-vpc) - **[View snapshot information]** button: click to view snapshot information check guide - **[Learn more about the product]** button: click to move to the Block Storage introduction page - **[Download]** button: click to download the snapshot list as an Excel file - **[Refresh]** button: click to refresh the snapshot list |
| ③ Post-creation features | Features after you create a snapshot - **[Delete snapshot]** button: click to [delete the selected snapshot](/docs/en/server-snapshot-delete-vpc) - **[Create My server image]** button: click to [create server image with selected snapshot](/docs/en/server-snapshot-serverimage-vpc) |
| ④ Search bar | Search for snapshots by snapshot/original storage/full storage snapshot name - When searching by **full storage snapshot name (view by chain)**, you can check the chain of full storage snapshots and incremental snapshots |
| ⑤ Details on snapshot | Details on created snapshots. See [Check snapshot information](/docs/en/server-snapshot-vpc#%EC%8A%A4%EB%83%85%EC%83%B7%EC%A0%95%EB%B3%B4%ED%99%95%EC%9D%B8) |

## Check snapshot information

You can find the detailed information of the created snapshots in the snapshot list.

              Note

              

You can see the snapshot list only when 1 or more snapshots are created. If there is no created snapshot, the snapshot list isn't displayed on the Snapshot page.

To check the snapshot details, follow these steps:

1. In the VPC environment of the NAVER Cloud Platform console, navigate to **Menu** > **All Services** > **Compute** > **Server**.
2. Click the **Snapshot** menu.
3. When the list of snapshots appears, view the summary information or click a snapshot to check the details.
  - **Snapshot name (Instance ID)**: snapshot name you entered when creating a server and the automatically assigned unique ID
  - **Hypervisor**: hypervisor type of the original storage
  - **Original storage name**: name of the original storage from which the snapshot was created
  - **Default storage status** (KVM only): whether it is the default storage included in the OS
  - **Snapshot type** (XEN only): whether it is a full or incremental snapshot
  - **Depth (n)** (XEN only): depth number of the snapshot
  - **Size**: capacity of the snapshot provided in GB

              Note

              

    - The snapshot size for g3 servers refers to the allocated logical capacity (virtual size). If a value is displayed in parentheses, it indicates the actual usage (actual size). Deleting a snapshot may change the actual size of other snapshots from the same source storage.
    - Snapshot billing is based on the capacity criteria shown in parentheses.
  - **Status**/**progress status**: current status of the snapshot
    - **Creating**: status in which the snapshot is being created with the information you entered
    - **Created**: status in which the snapshot is available for normal use
    - **Returning**: status in which the snapshot is being deleted
    - **Replicating**: status in which the current server is being replicated by running Create storage with snapshot
  - **Creation date and time**: date and time when the snapshot was created
  - **Apply encryption to storage**: whether to apply encryption to the storage to be created from snapshots
