You can manage the storage resources attached to your Instances directly from the Scaleway console.
22+
23+
Storage resources consist of:
24+
25+
**Volumes**: Volumes are storage spaces used by your Instances. You can attach several volumes to an Instance.
26+
**Snapshots**: Snapshots contain the data of a specific volume at a particular point in time, giving you total freedom of what you want to back up. Data may include the operating system, configuration information, and files stored in the volume.
27+
**Images**: Images are backups of your Instances. You can use an image to restore your data or create a series of Instances with a predefined configuration.
28+
29+
## Managing volumes
30+
31+
Volumes are the primary storage solution for your Instances. Scaleway Instances support either **Local Storage** or **Block Storage** volumes depending on the Instance type.
32+
33+
<Message type="tip">
34+
Are you missing a volume in the list? Refer to the [Block Storage](https://console.scaleway.com/block-storage/volumes) or [Local Storage](https://console.scaleway.com/local-storage/volumes) sections of the Scaleway console to see a full list of resources allocated to your Project.
