Backup and Restore

When we encounter misoperation, we can use snapshot restore. We provide daily automatic snapshot at UTC 2:00 and provide self-manual snapshot.

Creating a snapshot

Use the following procedure to create a snapshot from the specified volume.

1.To create a snapshot using the console.

1.1 Open the Amazon EC2 console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/.

1.2 Choose Volume under Elastic Block Store in the navigation pane.

1.3 Choose Create Snapshot.

1.4 Choose Add Tag to add tags to your snapshot. For each tag, provide a tag key and a tag value（Name_account is your AccountName like chengdu80final-team 1）.

1.5 Choose Create Snapshot.

Key	Value
Name	XXXX
Owner	Name_account

2.(Optional)To create a snapshot using the command line, see the following example.

• create-snapshot (AWS CLI):aws ec2 create-snapshots \

    --instance-specification InstanceId=i-1234567890abcdef0 \
    --description "This is snapshot of a volume from my-instance"

• New-EC2Snapshot (AWS Tools for Windows PowerShell):

PS C:\> New-EC2Snapshot -VolumeId vol-12345678 -Description "This is a test"

DataEncryptionKeyId :
Description         : This is a test
Encrypted           : False
KmsKeyId            :
OwnerAlias          :
OwnerId             : 123456789012
Progress            :

VolumeId            : vol-12345678
VolumeSize          : 20This example creates a snapshot of the specified volume.
