    File Storage NAS:CreateSnapshot

    Last Updated:Dec 11, 2024

    Creates a snapshot.

    Operation description

    • The snapshot feature is in public preview and is provided free of charge. File Storage NAS Service Level Agreement (SLA) is not guaranteed in public preview.
    • Only advanced Extreme NAS file systems support the snapshot feature.
    • You can create a maximum of 128 snapshots for a file system.
    • The compute node on which a file system is mounted must function as expected. Otherwise, you cannot create a snapshot for the file system.
    • You can create only one snapshot for a file system at a time.
    • If the file system expires when a snapshot is being created, the file system is released and the snapshot is deleted.
    • When you create a snapshot for a file system, the I/O performance of the file system may be degraded for a short period of time. We recommend that you create snapshots during off-peak hours.
    • A snapshot is a backup of a file system at a specific point in time. After you create a snapshot, incremental data that is generated in the file system will not be synchronized to the snapshot.
    • Manually created snapshots will not be deleted until 15 days after the service is suspended due to overdue payments. We recommend that you delete unnecessary snapshots at regular intervals to prevent extra fees incurred by the snapshots.

    Debugging

    You can run this interface directly in OpenAPI Explorer, saving you the trouble of calculating signatures. After running successfully, OpenAPI Explorer can automatically generate SDK code samples.
