Container for the parameters to the CreateDiskSnapshot operation. Creates a snapshot of a block storage disk. You can use snapshots for backups, to make copies of disks, and to save data before shutting down a Lightsail instance.
You can take a snapshot of an attached disk that is in use; however, snapshots only capture data that has been written to your disk at the time the snapshot command is issued. This may exclude any data that has been cached by any applications or the operating system. If you can pause any file systems on the disk long enough to take a snapshot, your snapshot should be complete. Nevertheless, if you cannot pause all file writes to the disk, you should unmount the disk from within the Lightsail instance, issue the create disk snapshot command, and then remount the disk to ensure a consistent and complete snapshot. You may remount and use your disk while the snapshot status is pending.
You can also use this operation to create a snapshot of an instance's system volume.
You might want to do this, for example, to recover data from the system volume of
a botched instance or to create a backup of the system volume like you would for a
block storage disk. To create a snapshot of a system volume, just define the instance
name
parameter when issuing the snapshot command, and a snapshot of the defined
instance's system volume will be created. After the snapshot is available, you can
create a block storage disk from the snapshot and attach it to a running instance
to access the data on the disk.
The create disk snapshot
operation supports tag-based access control via request
tags. For more information, see the Amazon
Lightsail Developer Guide.
