AWS SDK Version 4 for .NET
API Reference

AWS services or capabilities described in AWS Documentation may vary by region/location. Click Getting Started with Amazon AWS to see specific differences applicable to the China (Beijing) Region.

Creates an exact copy of an Amazon EBS snapshot.

The location of the source snapshot determines whether you can copy it or not, and the allowed destinations for the snapshot copy.

When copying snapshots to a Region, copies of encrypted EBS snapshots remain encrypted. Copies of unencrypted snapshots remain unencrypted, unless you enable encryption for the snapshot copy operation. By default, encrypted snapshot copies use the default KMS key; however, you can specify a different KMS key. To copy an encrypted snapshot that has been shared from another account, you must have permissions for the KMS key used to encrypt the snapshot.

Snapshots copied to an Outpost are encrypted by default using the default encryption key for the Region, or a different key that you specify in the request using KmsKeyId. Outposts do not support unencrypted snapshots. For more information, see Amazon EBS local snapshots on Outposts in the Amazon EBS User Guide.

Snapshots copies have an arbitrary source volume ID. Do not use this volume ID for any purpose.

For more information, see Copy an Amazon EBS snapshot in the Amazon EBS User Guide.
