Creating an Ad-Hoc Snapshot
In addition to scheduled snapshots, AWS Storage Gateway allows you to take ad-hoc snapshots, enabling you to back up your storage volume immediately without waiting for the next scheduled snapshot.
To take an ad-hoc snapshot of your storage volume
In the AWS Storage Gateway console, select the gateway that contains the storage volume of which you want to take a snapshot.
Click the Volumes tab.
Select a volume from the list and click Create Snapshot.
AWS Storage Gateway starts the snapshot process immediately.
Verify the snapshot at the console. For more information, see Finding a Snapshot.
