<p>I have linked a Persistent Volume to my Kubernetes Neo4j Replication Controller to store the DB data. Now I would like to access this Drive to copy its content.
The gcould api offers:<br>
<code>gcloud compute ssh instance-name</code><br>
but its not an instance its a drive, so how can you connect to it ?</p>

<p>You can't. You should think your disc as a physical disk. If your physical disk is unmounted then you can't access it. If you want to access to Neo4j data then the best way is through your Ne4j instance. 
Also you can mount this persistent disk in another instance and through it access to your data. Check <a href="https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/disks/add-persistent-disk#create_disk" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this</a> to do that.</p>

<p><strong>Update:</strong></p>

<p>If you have access via ssh to the instance where your disc is mounted (Neo4j instance), then you can transfer your data via scp copy to/from your local computer. Take a look <a href="http://www.computerhope.com/unix/scp.htm" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a>.</p>
