This topic describes how to view the size of all snapshots of a single disk, the size of all snapshots within a specific time range, and the total size of all snapshots in a region.
Prerequisites
At least one snapshot is created for a disk. For more information, see Create a snapshot for a disk.
View the snapshot size of a disk based on the snapshot chain of the disk
A snapshot chain is a chain of all snapshots created for a disk. A disk corresponds to a snapshot chain. For more information, see How snapshots work.
A minute-level latency occurs when the size of a snapshot chain is calculated. The displayed snapshot chain size is for reference only. You are charged based on the actual storage space that is occupied by the snapshot chain. You can view the actual fees in your bills.
To view the size of all snapshots of a disk in the Elastic Compute Service (ECS) console, perform the following steps:
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 Disk Snapshots tab.
Find and copy the ID of the disk whose snapshot size you want to view. Make sure that at least one snapshot is created for the disk.
Click the Snapshot Chains tab.
①: In this section, select Disk ID from the drop-down list.
②: In this section, paste the copied disk ID in the search box and click
. ③: In the Snapshot Chain Size column, view the size of all snapshots of the disk.
(Optional) Find the snapshot chain that you want to manage and click Details in the Actions column.
You can view the snapshot information of the disk or perform the operations described in the following topics on the snapshot:
View the snapshot size within a specific time range
To view the size of all snapshots within a specific time range in the ECS console, perform the following steps:
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 Size tab.
Specify a time range to query.
NoteYou can query the changes in the snapshot size within the last 15 days.
You can view the size of snapshots within the specified time range in the current region.
View the total snapshot size in a region
To view the total snapshot size in a region in the ECS console, perform the following steps:
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, view the total snapshot size, the total number of snapshots, and the number of storage capacity units (SCUs) that take effect in the selected region.
NoteYou can use SCUs to offset the pay-as-you-go bills for snapshots. For more information, see Storage capacity units.
