#Deploy Volume Snapshot Component

A volume snapshot refers to a snapshot of a persistent volume, which is a copy of the persistent volume at a specific point in time. If the cluster uses persistent volumes that support snapshot functionality, the volume snapshot component can be deployed to enable this feature.

Currently, the platform only supports creating volume snapshots for PVCs that are dynamically created using storage classes. You can create new PVC bindings based on these snapshots.

Tip: The access modes supported when creating PVCs from snapshots differ from those supported when creating PVCs using storage classes, which are indicated in bold in the table below.

Storage Class Used to Create Volume Snapshots	Single Node Read-Write (RWO)	Multi-Node Read-Only (ROX)	Multi-Node Read-Write (RWX)
TopoLVM	Supported	Not Supported	Not Supported
CephRBD Block Storage	Supported	Not Supported	Not Supported
CephFS File Storage	Supported	Supported	Supported
