Overview
The data backup point of a cloud disk follows the lifecycle of the cloud disk. When the cloud disk expires or is returned, the data backup point reaches the end of its lifecycle. You can convert the data backup point on a specific date into a snapshot, so that you can make it independent of the cloud disk lifecycle and retain a data backup for a long time. This document describes how to convert a data backup point into a snapshot in the console.
Notes
Snapshots have been commercialized. If the data backup point is converted into a snapshot, a snapshot will be created and billed. For billing details, see Price Overview. After being converted into a snapshot, the data backup point will be deleted automatically and no longer occupy the quota.
