Initiates a snapshot of a volume.
Storage Gateway provides the ability to back up point-in-time snapshots of your data to Amazon Simple Storage (Amazon S3) for durable off-site recovery, and also import the data to an Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS) volume in Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2). You can take snapshots of your gateway volume on a scheduled or ad hoc basis. This API enables you to take an ad hoc snapshot. For more information, see Editing a snapshot schedule.
In the CreateSnapshot request, you identify the volume by providing its Amazon
Resource Name (ARN). You must also provide description for the snapshot. When Storage
Gateway takes the snapshot of specified volume, the snapshot and description appears
in the Storage Gateway console. In response, Storage Gateway returns you a snapshot
ID. You can use this snapshot ID to check the snapshot progress or later use it when
you want to create a volume from a snapshot. This operation is only supported in stored
and cached volume gateway type.
To list or delete a snapshot, you must use the Amazon EC2 API. For more information, see DescribeSnapshots or DeleteSnapshot in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud API Reference.
Volume and snapshot IDs are changing to a longer length ID format. For more information, see the important note on the Welcome page.
This is an asynchronous operation using the standard naming convention for .NET 4.5 or higher. For .NET 3.5 the operation is implemented as a pair of methods using the standard naming convention of BeginCreateSnapshot and EndCreateSnapshot.
