CopySnapshot

GET /?Action=CopySnapshot
Description

Copies a snapshot to your account, from an account in the same Region.
To do so, the owner of the source snapshot must share it with your account. For more information about how to share a snapshot with another account, see ModifySnapshotAttribute.
The copy of the source snapshot is independent and belongs to you.

Note

To copy a snapshot between accounts in different Regions, the owner of the source snapshot must export it to an Object Storage Unit (OSU) bucket using the CreateSnapshotExportTask method, and then you need to import it using the ImportSnapshot method. For more information, see CreateSnapshotExportTask and ImportSnapshot.
