How to create Volume from a Volume snapshot in another region

Posted April 28, 2020 270 views
Storage

I have a Volume snapshot in region1 and I want to create a Volume from it in region2. How do I do it? There is plenty of documentation for doing this for a Droplet snapshot, but nothing that talks about Volume snapshot.

Thanks!

Hey there,

Right now, volume snapshots can’t be transferred between datacenters. If you’d like to create an identical volume in another region, we’d recommend creating a new Volume in the desired region, attaching it to a Droplet, and transferring the data using a tool like rsync.

We have several guides on using rsync, here is my favorite one: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-use-rsync-to-sync-local-and-remote-directories-on-a-vps#how-to-use-rsync-to-sync-with-a-remote-system
