Can I add a volume snapshot to another region or transfer it to another region? I know I can do it with droplet snapshots, but what about volume snapshots? And if it’s not possible, can you add this feature?

Hey @urirodberg,
I just tested this and it does not seem to be possible as of the time being. A workaround that I would use in this case is to use a command like rsync for example, to transfer all of my files from an existing volume on one Droplet to volume on a different Droplet.
You can take a look at this tutorial on how to use the rsync command:
On another note, sounds like a great idea!
The best thing to do to get your voice heard regarding this would be to head over to our Product Ideas board and post a new idea, including as much information as possible for what you’d like to see implemented.
Hope that helps! - Bobby.
