Hi all,
In this video, I have discussed Snapshots in ebs. Using the existing volume I have created a snapshot, which is now a backup of that volume, and using the snapshot I have created a new volume and attached it to a server. so the data which was already partitioned, and formatted has been copied to the newly created volume. we only need to create mount points and do mounting in a Linux server. Basically, snapshots are used for creating a copy of the app data to migrate between regions and aws accounts using these scenarios.
1. Same AWS account to same AWS region
2. Same AWS account to different AWS region
3. Different AWS accounts to the same AWS region
4. Different AWS account to the different AWS region
Using snapshots we can also create an image as well as an instance.
To copy the data, to migrate the data, to backup and restore the data we use snapshots.
