Cloning a block volume

Cloning a volume will duplicate all of its data onto a new volume. A volume can be cloned from the Block volumes page.

Volumes must either be detached or the instance to which it is attached must be shutdown.

Currently, volumes can only be cloned within the same datacenter location. For example, if the original volume is in FIN-01 datacenter, the cloned volume will also be in FIN-01. Cloning between datacenter locations via the dashboard is coming soon! In the meantime, contact us for assistance via chat or email [email protected].

The volume can be cloned from NVMe to HDD and vice versa. Therefore, cloning can be used for a more cost effective storage (HDD) if the data is not needed for some time.
