A snapshot is an incremental backup, which means that we save only the blocks on the volume that\r\nhave changed since the most recent snapshot. This minimizes the time required to create the snapshot and saves on\r\nstorage costs by not duplicating data.\r\nImportant\r\nAWS does not automatically back up the data stored on your EBS volumes. For data resiliency and disaster\r\nrecovery, it is your responsibility to create EBS snapshots on a regular basis, or to set up automatic snapshot\r\ncreation by using Automate backups with Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager or AWS Backup.\r\nSnapshots are stored in Amazon S3, in S3 buckets that you can't access directly. You can create and manage your\r\nsnapshots using the Amazon EC2 console or the Amazon EC2 API. You can't access your snapshots using the\r\nAmazon S3 console or the Amazon S3 API.\r\nSnapshot data is automatically replicated across all Availability Zones in the Region. This provides high\r\navailability and durability for snapshot data, and enables you to restore volumes in any Availability Zones in that\r\nRegion.\r\nEach snapshot contains all of the information that is needed to restore your data (from the moment when the\r\nsnapshot was taken) to a new EBS volume. When you create an EBS volume from a snapshot, the new volume\r\nbegins as an exact replica of the volume that was used to create the snapshot.\r\nFor more information, see the Amazon EBS Snapshots product page.\r\nSnapshot events\r\nYou can track the status of your EBS snapshots through CloudWatch Events. For more information, see EBS\r\nsnapshot events.\r\nSnapshot pricing\r\nCharges for your snapshots are based on the amount of data stored. Because snapshots are incremental, deleting a\r\nsnapshot might not reduce your data storage costs. Data referenced exclusively by a snapshot is removed when\r\nthat snapshot is deleted, but data referenced by other snapshots is preserved. For more information, see Amazon\r\nElastic Block Store Volumes and Snapshots in the AWS Billing User Guide.\r\nContents\r\nHow Amazon EBS snapshots work\r\nhttps://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/EBSSnapshots.html\r\nPage 1 of 2\n\nAmazon EBS snapshot lifecycle\r\nAmazon EBS fast snapshot restore\r\nAmazon EBS snapshot lock\r\nBlock public access for Amazon EBS snapshots\r\nAmazon EBS local snapshots on Outposts\r\nLocal snapshots in Local Zones\r\nSource: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/EBSSnapshots.html\r\nhttps://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/EBSSnapshots.html\r\nPage 2 of 2",
