Virtual machines sized for your workload, billed per second.
Learn moreBlock Storage
Attach persistent block volumes to your virtual machines, extend them as you grow, and protect them with snapshots, scheduled backups, and deletion protection.
ICT Cloud console · illustrative data
Persistent volumes from 1 to 16,384 GB with snapshots, backups, and deletion protection.
From 1 GB to 16,384 GB
Create the size you need today and extend it later, up to 16,384 GB.
Protection you can see
Each volume shows whether a backup plan covers it, and warns you when none does.
Snapshots on demand
Take a point-in-time snapshot of a volume and create new volumes from it.
In the console
Coverage at a glance
Backup Center lists every volume with its coverage, last backup, and next run, so unprotected data stands out.
- Plans with cadence and retention
- Incremental runs after a full base
- Restore to a new volume or over the source

FAQ
What sizes are supported?
From 1 GB to 16,384 GB. A volume created from a snapshot must be at least the source size.

No. You can extend a volume; the new size must be between the current size and 16,384 GB.
How do I know a volume is backed up?
Its detail page and Backup Center show whether a plan covers it. If none does, the console says so.
