Snapshot size is 0B

Hey guys when i create snapshots using snapshot scheduler why does it create snapshots of size 0B which is alike from manual creation

Hi,

Compute Engine uses incremental Snapshots, so each snapshot contains only the data that has changed since the previous Snapshot.  The size associated with a snapshot refers to the amount of new or modified data since the previous snapshot.  If there were no changes between the first and the second snapshot to the data on the disk, then the second snapshot may report as 0B.  Could that be what you are seeing?

Hope that helps,

Alex

Hi, Alex

If I create a disk of the last snapshot, it would use all the previous ones to recreate the disk entirely? 

And what happens when a snapshot is deleted? The next will fully backup the disk?

My concern is with database consistency.
