One of the biggest lessons I've learned is that you need occasional EBS-to-EBS backups. Anyone that had to recover from snapshots knows the painful reason why.

- forwidur 10y agoCan you send a pull request with that tip? Many people would really appreciate it when they won't need to recover from snapshots. :-)
- markwillis82 10y agoWhy is it painful recovering from snapshots? (have just moved to AWS so have not experienced this yet)
- imperialdrive 10y agoI get a lot of shit for not giving straight answers... just spin up an instance, put a gig of data on EBS drive, snapshot, create EBS from snapshot as if you were recovering, and try pulling 100+ megs of data off it... you'll never not keep EBS copies again. big clue: pre-warming it will take you an hour to do, and you'll be years wiser this is probably the number one reason people experience extra extra downtime when suffering from rebuild from whatever issue... and EBS volumes in certain regions can and will experience silent deaths
