AWS services or capabilities described in AWS Documentation may vary by region/location. Click Getting Started with Amazon AWS to see specific differences applicable to the China (Beijing) Region.

Container for the parameters to the CopySnapshot operation. Copies a point-in-time snapshot of an EBS volume and stores it in Amazon S3. You can copy a snapshot within the same Region, from one Region to another, or from a Region to an Outpost. You can't copy a snapshot from an Outpost to a Region, from one Outpost to another, or within the same Outpost.

You can use the snapshot to create EBS volumes or Amazon Machine Images (AMIs).

When copying snapshots to a Region, copies of encrypted EBS snapshots remain encrypted. Copies of unencrypted snapshots remain unencrypted, unless you enable encryption for the snapshot copy operation. By default, encrypted snapshot copies use the default Key Management Service (KMS) KMS key; however, you can specify a different KMS key. To copy an encrypted snapshot that has been shared from another account, you must have permissions for the KMS key used to encrypt the snapshot.

Snapshots copied to an Outpost are encrypted by default using the default encryption key for the Region, or a different key that you specify in the request using KmsKeyId. Outposts do not support unencrypted snapshots. For more information, Amazon EBS local snapshots on Outposts in the Amazon EBS User Guide.

Snapshots created by copying another snapshot have an arbitrary volume ID that should not be used for any purpose.

For more information, see Copy an Amazon EBS snapshot in the Amazon EBS User Guide.

Properties

NameTypeDescription
Public Property Description System.String

Gets and sets the property Description.

A description for the EBS snapshot.

Public Property DestinationOutpostArn System.String

Gets and sets the property DestinationOutpostArn.

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the Outpost to which to copy the snapshot. Only specify this parameter when copying a snapshot from an Amazon Web Services Region to an Outpost. The snapshot must be in the Region for the destination Outpost. You cannot copy a snapshot from an Outpost to a Region, from one Outpost to another, or within the same Outpost.

For more information, see Copy snapshots from an Amazon Web Services Region to an Outpost in the Amazon EBS User Guide.

Public Property DestinationRegion System.String

Gets and sets the property DestinationRegion.

The destination Region to use in the PresignedUrl parameter of a snapshot copy operation. This parameter is only valid for specifying the destination Region in a PresignedUrl parameter, where it is required.

The snapshot copy is sent to the regional endpoint that you sent the HTTP request to (for example, ec2.us-east-1.amazonaws.com). With the CLI, this is specified using the --region parameter or the default Region in your Amazon Web Services configuration file.

Public Property Encrypted System.Boolean

Gets and sets the property Encrypted.

To encrypt a copy of an unencrypted snapshot if encryption by default is not enabled, enable encryption using this parameter. Otherwise, omit this parameter. Encrypted snapshots are encrypted, even if you omit this parameter and encryption by default is not enabled. You cannot set this parameter to false. For more information, see Amazon EBS encryption in the Amazon EBS User Guide.

Public Property KmsKeyId System.String

Gets and sets the property KmsKeyId.

The identifier of the Key Management Service (KMS) KMS key to use for Amazon EBS encryption. If this parameter is not specified, your KMS key for Amazon EBS is used. If KmsKeyId is specified, the encrypted state must be true.

You can specify the KMS key using any of the following:

  • Key ID. For example, 1234abcd-12ab-34cd-56ef-1234567890ab.

  • Key alias. For example, alias/ExampleAlias.

  • Key ARN. For example, arn:aws:kms:us-east-1:012345678910:key/1234abcd-12ab-34cd-56ef-1234567890ab.

  • Alias ARN. For example, arn:aws:kms:us-east-1:012345678910:alias/ExampleAlias.

Amazon Web Services authenticates the KMS key asynchronously. Therefore, if you specify an ID, alias, or ARN that is not valid, the action can appear to complete, but eventually fails.

Public Property SourceRegion System.String

Gets and sets the property SourceRegion.

The ID of the Region that contains the snapshot to be copied.

Public Property SourceSnapshotId System.String

Gets and sets the property SourceSnapshotId.

The ID of the EBS snapshot to copy.

Public Property TagSpecifications System.Collections.Generic.List<Amazon.EC2.Model.TagSpecification>

Gets and sets the property TagSpecifications.

The tags to apply to the new snapshot.

Examples

This example copies a snapshot with the snapshot ID of ``snap-066877671789bd71b`` from the ``us-west-2`` region to the ``us-east-1`` region and adds a short description to identify the snapshot.

To copy a snapshot


var client = new AmazonEC2Client();
var response = client.CopySnapshot(new CopySnapshotRequest 
{
    Description = "This is my copied snapshot.",
    DestinationRegion = "us-east-1",
    SourceRegion = "us-west-2",
    SourceSnapshotId = "snap-066877671789bd71b"
});

string snapshotId = response.SnapshotId;
