With snapshots, keep accurate versions of your data
Whether to replicate a configuration on another server, or to roll back in the event of a problem, snapshots allow you to keep versions of your volumes at specific times:
- Keep a one-time version of your volume.
- Take a snapshot manually, or enable automation.
- Use the Gandi interface to manage your snapshots, or the OpenStack public API.
- Pay according to a single rate, based on the size of the source volume: €0.03 excl. VAT / GB / Month.
