Export a Volume to Image

You can select and export an existing volume to an image by following the steps below:

If the volume is in external storage, ensure that it is not attached to workloads (virtual machines and pods) before starting the export process. This prevents the resulting image from getting stuck in the Exporting state.

  1. Click the ⋮ button and select the Export Image option.

    export-volume-to-image-1

  2. Select the Namespace of the new image.

  3. Configure the Name of the new image.

  4. Select an existing StorageClass.

  5. (Optional) You can download the exported image from the Images page by clicking the ⋮ button and selecting the Download option.
