Cross-region snapshot copy

Snapshots can now be copied across regions for disaster recovery. Previously snapshots were region-local — to recover in another region, you had to manually re-create the workload.

How it works

  • Right-click a snapshot in the dashboard → Copy to region → pick destination
  • Or via CLI:
    $ibee snapshot copy <snapshot-id> --to-region IAD
  • Background copy at line-rate within the IBEE backbone (no egress charges between regions)
  • Destination snapshot is independent — deleting the source doesn’t affect it

Supported pairs

All region pairs: VGA ↔ HYD1 ↔ IAD. Copy time depends on snapshot size; ~1 GB/sec typical.
