Dear Axe,
Here is the definition:
EVS disk snapshot is an important data recovery method that records the status of EVS disk
data at a specific point in time. The snapshot created for an EVS disk at a certain point in time
is independent from the life cycle of the EVS disk. The snapshot can be used to roll back and
restore data of the EVS disk at the time when the snapshot was taken.
You can create an EVS disk from a snapshot. The created EVS disk contains the data of the
snapshot, and is a precise copy of the source EVS disk. An EVS disk created from a snapshot
does not need to be partitioned or formatted, and no file system needs to be created. When the
EVS disk is attached to an instance, the EVS disk can read and write data. Therefore, the
snapshot is an important way of sharing and migrating data
Thanks.
