CopySnapshotRequest Class | AWS SDK for .NET V3

Container for the parameters to the CopySnapshot operation. Copies a point-in-time snapshot of an EBS volume and stores it in Amazon S3. You can copy a snapshot within the same Region, from one Region to another, or from a Region to an Outpost. You can't copy a snapshot from an Outpost to a Region, from one Outpost to another, or within the same Outpost.

You can use the snapshot to create EBS volumes or Amazon Machine Images (AMIs).

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, Amazon EBS local snapshots on Outposts in the Amazon EBS User Guide.

Snapshots created by copying another snapshot have an arbitrary volume ID that should not be used for any purpose.

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

The CopySnapshotRequest type exposes the following members

Constructors

	Name	Description
	CopySnapshotRequest()

Properties

Name	Type	Description
CompletionDurationMinutes	System.Int32	Gets and sets the property CompletionDurationMinutes. Specify a completion duration, in 15 minute increments, to initiate a time-based snapshot copy. Time-based snapshot copy operations complete within the specified duration. For more information, see Time-based copies. If you do not specify a value, the snapshot copy operation is completed on a best-effort basis.
Description	System.String	Gets and sets the property Description. A description for the EBS snapshot.
DestinationOutpostArn	System.String	Gets and sets the property DestinationOutpostArn. The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the Outpost to which to copy the snapshot. Only specify this parameter when copying a snapshot from an Amazon Web Services Region to an Outpost. The snapshot must be in the Region for the destination Outpost. You cannot copy a snapshot from an Outpost to a Region, from one Outpost to another, or within the same Outpost. For more information, see Copy snapshots from an Amazon Web Services Region to an Outpost in the Amazon EBS User Guide.
DestinationRegion	System.String	Gets and sets the property DestinationRegion. The destination Region to use in the `PresignedUrl` parameter of a snapshot copy operation. This parameter is only valid for specifying the destination Region in a `PresignedUrl` parameter, where it is required. The snapshot copy is sent to the regional endpoint that you sent the HTTP request to (for example, `ec2.us-east-1.amazonaws.com`). With the CLI, this is specified using the `--region` parameter or the default Region in your Amazon Web Services configuration file.
Encrypted	System.Boolean	Gets and sets the property Encrypted. To encrypt a copy of an unencrypted snapshot if encryption by default is not enabled, enable encryption using this parameter. Otherwise, omit this parameter. Encrypted snapshots are encrypted, even if you omit this parameter and encryption by default is not enabled. You cannot set this parameter to false. For more information, see Amazon EBS encryption in the Amazon EBS User Guide.
KmsKeyId	System.String	Gets and sets the property KmsKeyId. The identifier of the KMS key to use for Amazon EBS encryption. If this parameter is not specified, your KMS key for Amazon EBS is used. If `KmsKeyId` is specified, the encrypted state must be `true`. You can specify the KMS key using any of the following: Key ID. For example, 1234abcd-12ab-34cd-56ef-1234567890ab. Key alias. For example, alias/ExampleAlias. Key ARN. For example, arn:aws:kms:us-east-1:012345678910:key/1234abcd-12ab-34cd-56ef-1234567890ab. Alias ARN. For example, arn:aws:kms:us-east-1:012345678910:alias/ExampleAlias. Amazon Web Services authenticates the KMS key asynchronously. Therefore, if you specify an ID, alias, or ARN that is not valid, the action can appear to complete, but eventually fails.
SourceRegion	System.String	Gets and sets the property SourceRegion. The ID of the Region that contains the snapshot to be copied.
SourceSnapshotId	System.String	Gets and sets the property SourceSnapshotId. The ID of the EBS snapshot to copy.
TagSpecifications	System.Collections.Generic.List<Amazon.EC2.Model.TagSpecification>	Gets and sets the property TagSpecifications. The tags to apply to the new snapshot.

Examples

This example copies a snapshot with the snapshot ID of ``snap-066877671789bd71b`` from the ``us-west-2`` region to the ``us-east-1`` region and adds a short description to identify the snapshot.

To copy a snapshot


var client = new AmazonEC2Client();
var response = client.CopySnapshot(new CopySnapshotRequest 
{
    Description = "This is my copied snapshot.",
    DestinationRegion = "us-east-1",
    SourceRegion = "us-west-2",
    SourceSnapshotId = "snap-066877671789bd71b"
});

string snapshotId = response.SnapshotId;
