An image contains the necessary configurations and operating system required to create cloud computers. To create cloud computers or back up data across regions by using a custom image, you can copy the image from the source region to the destination region. This topic describes how to copy an image between regions.
Prerequisites
A custom image is created and set to the Available state. For more information, see Create an image or Create an image by using a snapshot.
Only custom images can be copied. System, shared, and community images cannot be copied.

In the Copy Image panel, select the destination region in the Region section, configure the Image Name parameter, and click Copy.
NoteYou cannot delete or share the image during the copy process.
