This topic explains how to view the size of all snapshots of a disk, the size of snapshots within a specific time range, and the snapshot size across all regions or within a single region.
Prerequisites
You must have at least one snapshot created for a disk. For more information, see Create a Snapshot.
View the snapshot size of a single disk based on the snapshot chain
A snapshot chain is a series of related snapshots for a disk. The total snapshot size of a disk is determined by the granularity of the snapshot chain. For details on the calculation method, see Snapshot Principle.
Note
There may be a short delay in calculating the size based on the snapshot chain. The actual cost will be reflected in the bill.
You can follow these steps to view the size of all snapshots of a disk in the ECS console.
Log on to the ECS console.
In the left-side navigation pane, choose .
In the top navigation bar, select the region and resource group to which the resource belongs.
On the Disk Snapshots tab, confirm and copy the disk ID for which you want to find the snapshot size.
On the Snapshot Chain tab, locate the snapshot chain of the disk using the copied disk ID. The Snapshot Chain Size displays the size of all snapshots of the disk.
(Optional) In the Operation column of the snapshot chain, click Details to view all snapshot information contained in the chain.
Additionally, you can perform the following operations in the snapshot list:
View the snapshot size within a specific time range
Follow these steps to view the size of all snapshots within a specific time range in the current region in the ECS console.
Log on to the ECS console.
In the left-side navigation pane, choose .
In the top navigation bar, select the region and resource group to which the resource belongs.
On the Snapshots page, click the Snapshot Usage tab.
Set the query time to view the snapshot usage within the specified time range in the current region.
Note
You can query snapshot usage changes within the last 15 days.
View the snapshot size in all regions or a single region
To view the snapshot size in all regions or a single region, visit the overview page of ECS.
Log on to the ECS console.
On the Overview page in the My Resources section, you can see the total snapshot size and number of snapshots in all regions under the current account, along with the snapshot size and number of snapshots in each region.
Click the snapshot size or number of snapshots in a single region to view detailed snapshot information.
