}Move a snapshot to another storage
Overview
Moves a finished snapshot into another snapshot storage in the same team. Send the target snapshot_storage UUID. The target must have room for the whole snapshot, and neither storage may be suspended. No data is copied. Only the storage that holds and pays for the snapshot changes. To give snapshots to another team, move them into one storage and transfer that storage.
Permissions
Requires the snapshot.update (Move snapshots and rename storage) permission for the selected team. Resources outside that team return 404.

}Authorizations
Your API key, sent as a bearer token. Create one in the control panel under API Keys, give it only the permissions the integration needs, and copy it when it is created. It cannot be shown again. Each key is restricted to one owned team. The key determines the team for every request.
Path Parameters
The snapshot UUID
"2305595e-9b2f-4f9e-96d7-47fc7ff45791"
Body
Send a JSON object containing the fields below. Required fields are marked in the schema.
The value of snapshot_storage.
Response
The record, as a JSON object. There is no envelope.
A saved copy of a server's disk state.
The uuid UUID.
"2305595e-9b2f-4f9e-96d7-47fc7ff45791"
The name shown to customers.
"Pre-cascade baseline"
The state as the customer reads it, including a suspension of the storage holding the snapshot.
creating, available, failed, unavailable, suspended, restoring "available"
Whether the resource is successful.
true
Whether the resource is available.
true
The value of size.
85899345920
What the VM's disk was provisioned at when the snapshot was taken.
85899345920
How much of that disk is in use on the VM right now.
33822867456
The date and time for completed at, in UTC.
"2026-09-03T04:21:17.000000Z"
"2026-09-12T22:07:13.000000Z"
