A Volume that Cannot Be Deleted by Accident
delete_protection defaults to off, a deleted volume is gone at once with no soft delete and nothing to restore from, and server snapshots do not include volumes. Protection on and off only by name, a filesystem so automount works, exactly one of server or location, and an output that says volume snapshots do not exist.

Documentation
hetzner-volume
A Hetzner Cloud volume that cannot be deleted by accident, and is honest
about snapshots. Works with Terraform and OpenTofu (>= 1.6), hcloud
provider >= 1.0, < 2.0.
delete_protection defaults to off, and a deleted volume is gone at
once. On here; off needs accept_deletable_volume.
Server snapshots do not include volumes, and volumes have no snapshots
of their own; snapshots_available is always false.
format is what makes automount work; ext4 by default.
Verification
Static validation runs tofu fmt, init, validate, tflint and checkov.
This module has not yet had a live test, so it is published as statically
validated with its live test pending and does not carry the live-tested mark.

exoscale-block-storage
Snapshots exist as a resource you take and nothing on the platform schedules one; a volume attaches from the instance side, one instance at a time, in its zone; and a volume made from a snapshot is the restore path. A baseline snapshot when asked, restore from a snapshot when given, and an output that says no schedule exists.
ibm-block-volume
VPC backup policies match volumes by user tag, so a volume created without the tag sits silently outside the policy; encryption is provider-managed unless a root key CRN is given; and an attachment can delete the volume with the instance. The policy created with its plan and the volume tagged with the tag it matches (none by name), your key when given, the volume kept on instance deletion.
oci-block-volume
Every tenancy ships Bronze, Silver and Gold policies and a volume follows one only through a separate assignment - the page reads Backup policy: none for the many never assigned. Assigns a policy to the volume it creates and refuses one without. Custom schedules add destination_region and retention lock, which Oracle policies lack: same-region backups are a copy of the failure.
do-volume
Droplet backups copy the boot disk and nothing attached to it, so a database whose data lives on a volume is an empty server to the backup; there is no snapshot schedule for volumes either. A formatted, attached, regional volume with two outputs that say exactly that, so whatever consumes the module cannot assume a copy exists.
scaleway-block-volume
iops is required, is the price per GB, and cannot change after creation; snapshots exist as a resource you take and nothing on the platform schedules one; the volume is zonal and attaches from the server side. The tier validated to the two that exist, a baseline snapshot when asked, and an output that says no schedule exists.
azure-managed-disk
A managed disk's export SAS works from anywhere until public access is off; your key is a disk encryption set nobody creates; and Azure Backup for disks is a vault, a policy and an instance, where the instance is the assignment most vaults lack. Public export closed, the encryption set taken when given, and vault, policy, role assignments and backup instance created together (none by name).
