A Block Volume Backed Up by a Policy that Matches It
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.

Documentation
ibm-block-volume
An IBM Cloud VPC block volume that is encrypted with a key you hold,
attached, and backed up by a policy that matches it. Works with
Terraform and OpenTofu (>= 1.6), IBM-Cloud/ibm provider
>= 1.60, < 3.0.
Backup policies match by user tag. The module creates the policy and
tags the volume with its tag; none needs accept_no_backup_schedule.
Encryption is provider-managed unless key_crn.
Attachment from the instance side, with the volume kept when the instance is deleted.
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.

ibm-cos-bucket
Versioning is off by default; encryption is IBM-managed unless a Key Protect root key is given; allowed_ip is an allow list nobody sets, so any address that authenticates reaches the bucket; and a WORM retention rule cannot be removed once set. Versioning on with off by name, your root key when given, allowed ranges taken, retention optional, incomplete uploads freed after a week.
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.
hetzner-volume
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.
tencent-cbs-disk
A snapshot policy and its attachment are separate resources, so a policy in the console with no disks is the usual state; encrypt defaults to false and cannot be changed after creation; and force_delete takes a disk with data on it. Encrypted always with your KMS key or Tencent's, a policy created or yours attached (none by name), attached to the instance you give, never force-deleted.
