Creating a recovery snapshot
The following procedure shows you how to create a recovery snapshot from a volume recovery point for a gateway, and where to find that snapshot in the Storage Gateway console after you create it. You can take recovery snapshots on a one time, ad hoc basis or you can set up a snapshot schedule to take recurring snapshots of the volume at regular intervals that you specify.
To create and use a recovery snapshot of a volume from an existing gateway
-
Open the Storage Gateway console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/storagegateway/home
. -
In the navigation pane on the left side of the console page, choose Gateways.
-
Choose the gateway for which you want to create a snapshot, and then choose the Details tab.
The Details tab displays a recovery snapshot message for the selected gateway.
-
Choose Create recovery snapshot to open the Create recovery snapshot dialog box.
-
From the list of volumes that appears, choose the volume that you want to recover, and then choose Create snapshots.
Storage Gateway initiates the snapshot process for the specified volume. When the snapshot process is complete, you can find the snapshot listed in the Snapshots column when viewing the volume on the Volumes page of the Storage Gateway console.
