DescribeSnapshots
Obtains information about the directory snapshots that belong to this account.
This operation supports pagination with the use of the NextToken request and response parameters. If more results are available, the DescribeSnapshots.NextToken member contains a token that you pass in the next call to DescribeSnapshots to retrieve the next set of items.
You can also specify a maximum number of return results with the Limit parameter.
