Create a VM from a snapshot
Start a new VM with the disk of one of your snapshots.
- Open Create New VM and pick a plan as usual.
- In the Order Summary find Create from snapshot (optional). The field appears only if you have snapshots on the same provider as the plan you picked.
- Choose a snapshot. Leave it on the default option to use just the plain OS image.
- Pick the OS image, which is still needed to launch the VM. If you chose a snapshot, its disk replaces the image's disk right after launch.
- Choose Confirm & Pay.
Everything else about ordering, including wallet balance and options, works as in Create a VM.
Rules
- The snapshot must be one of your own and on the same provider as the plan.
- The snapshot must be Completed. If it is not ready, the order is refused with a message explaining that the snapshot is not ready.
