Volume operations¶
On a volume, you can:
You are also able to backup your volumes as well as re-use them as images.
A volume can be saved irrespectively from the instance it was created with but the standard behaviour is to delete a volume when the instance is deleted. There are som ways to get around this:
Backup the volume.
Copy the volume to an image.
Snapshot the volume and create a new volume from the snapshot
Important
Standard behaviour is that a volume gets deleted with its instance. Don’t delete an instance that you want to keep data from without performing one of the above actions first.
