Snapshot backup for server backup, expansion, etc.
Snapshot Backup
Taking a snapshot means to save the current condition of a virtual server or storage in a cloud environment, as if taking a photograph of it. Snapshot backup means to restore a volume to the previous state when an incorrect modification is made to the data in operation. It is similar to the System Restore feature in Windows.

Utilization

Snapshots facilitate not only for backup but also for adding servers.
- In case of needing to transfer data to a different server to replace an old server
- In case of wishing to upgrade the server to a higher specification
- In case of needing to add a server with the same environment as the server that was tested for application distribution
