Application-consistent snapshots based on Windows VSS
You can take application-consistent snapshots of all Amazon EBS volumes attached to your
Windows on Amazon EC2 instances using AWS Systems Manager Run Command. The snapshot process uses the Windows
Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS)
There is no additional cost to use VSS-enabled EBS snapshots. You only pay for EBS
snapshots created by the backup process. For more information, see How is my
EBS snapshot bill calculated?
