Volumes Support Articles
Generated on 30 Nov 2023
Can I attach a volume to multiple Droplets?
No; however, you can add another layer onto your Droplet with an attached Volume.
Why does my Droplet show almost 100% disk usage even after attaching a new volume?
Adding a volume to your Droplet doesn’t increase its main disk size. You need to resize the Droplet to increase its main disk size.
Why is my resized volume smaller than I expected?
Filesystem tools often don’t report the capacity reserved for metadata and the root user, and some report size in different units.
Why is my snapshot's size different from reported disk usage?
Snapshots of Droplets are a best estimate based on the disk usage. Snapshots of volumes operate at the block storage level, so the snapshot size may not match what the filesystem reports.
Can I download a backup or snapshot?
You cannot currently download DigitalOcean backups or snapshots, but you can use third-party tools to save your data locally.
