Is it possible to clone a block storage device? E.g from a snapshot?
Hi there,
I was wondering if there is an easy way to create a clone / duplicate of a block storage device?

Yes. You can take snapshot of a block volume, and then create a new volume from that snapshot. ( It’s under Images->Snapshots->Volumes ). That new volume will contain the same data content as the original volume at the time of the snapshot.

Cool, thanks for your reply! If I delete a volume, will the snapshots of that volume be deleted as well, or do the snapshots stay?
