View snapshot sizes by disk, time range, or region in the ECS console.
Prerequisites
At least one snapshot is created for a disk. See Create a snapshot.
View the snapshot size of a disk
A snapshot chain is a sequence of all snapshots of the same type for a disk. The total snapshot size is calculated based on the snapshot chain. See Snapshot principles.
A disk with only standard snapshots has one standard snapshot chain, and the total standard snapshot size is calculated from this chain.
If you archive some standard snapshots, the disk has two snapshot chains: standard and archive. The total size of each type is calculated from its chain. If all standard snapshots are archived, only the archive chain remains. See Archive snapshots.
Size calculation may take several minutes. Actual charges are reflected on your bill.
To view the total snapshot size for a disk in the ECS console:
Go to ECS console - Snapshots.
In the upper-left corner of the page, select a region and resource group.
On the Disk Snapshots tab, find the target disk and copy its ID.
On the Snapshot Chains tab, use the disk ID to find the snapshot chain. The Snapshot capacity column shows the total snapshot size for the disk.
(Optional) In the Actions column, click Details to view all snapshots in the chain.
You can also perform the following operations:
View snapshot sizes by time range
To view the total snapshot size in the current region within a time range:
Go to the ECS console - Snapshot Usage page.
In the upper-left corner of the page, select a region and resource group.
Set a time range to view the total snapshot usage in the current region.
NoteSnapshot usage data is available for the last 15 days.
View snapshot sizes by region
View snapshot sizes for all regions or a single region on the Overview page of the ECS console.
Log in to the ECS console.
On the Overview page, in the My Resources section, view the total snapshot size and count across all regions and per region.
Click the snapshot size or count for a region to navigate to the Snapshots page for details.
