This operation initiates a snapshot of a gateway from a volume recovery point. This operation
is supported only for the gateway-cached volume architecture (see
StorageGatewayConcepts
).
A volume recovery point is a point in time at which all data of the volume is consistent and
from which you can create a snapshot. To get a list of volume recovery point for gateway-cached
volumes, use ListVolumeRecoveryPoints
.
In the CreateSnapshotFromVolumeRecoveryPoint
request, you identify the volume by
providing its Amazon Resource Name (ARN). You must also provide a description for the snapshot.
When AWS Storage Gateway takes a snapshot of the specified volume, the snapshot and its
description appear in the AWS Storage Gateway console. In response, AWS 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.
To list or delete a snapshot, you must use the Amazon EC2 API. For more information, go to DeleteSnapshot and DescribeSnapshots in Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud API Reference.
