ImportSnapshot
GET /?Action=ImportSnapshot
Description
Imports a snapshot from an Object Storage Unit (OSU) bucket to create a copy of this snapshot in your account.
This method enables you to copy a snapshot from another account that is either within the same Region as the OSU bucket, or in a different one. To copy a snapshot within the same Region, you can also use the CopySnapshot direct method. For more information, see CopySnapshot.
The copy of the source snapshot is independent and belongs to you.
You can import a snapshot using a pre-signed URL. You do not need any permission for this snapshot, or the bucket in which it is contained. The pre-signed URL is valid for seven days (you can re-generate a new one if needed). For more information about how to export a snapshot an OSU bucket, see CreateSnapshotExportTask.
