Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS), a high-performance block storage service, announces the general availability of snapshot copy for AWS Local Zones. This new feature helps you meet your business and compliance requirements by ensuring that your EBS Snapshots are copied to the AWS Region or AWS Local Zone.
Snapshot copy copies a point-in-time local snapshot of an EBS volume and stores it in Amazon S3 in the Region or to another Local Zone. Customers use EBS Snapshots to back up their EBS volumes and copy them across multiple AWS Regions and Local Zones for disaster recovery, data migration, and compliance purposes.
Amazon EBS snapshot copy is available in Local Zones that support local snapshots through the AWS Console, AWS Command Line Interface (CLI), and AWS SDKs. To learn more, see the technical documentation for snapshot copy.
