They are (and in going to look that up I see that they're being pitched as more of a backup solution than they were previously) but given they're incremental and based on the existing EBS volume, I'd still recommend using something without dependencies.
I'm curious now as to how the EBS Snapshot was lost. If I had to guess, I suspect it had something to with that linkage back to the original volume. I maintain that the best backup has no dependencies on another resource existing.
- uuyi 5y agoWe never got a straight answer from AWS. We now run an instance in another region and account and rdiff-backup to it.
- forty 5y agoIt's a good point. There is a relatively new feature to archive EBS snapshots [1] which stores non incremental snapshots [1] https://aws.amazon.com/fr/blogs/aws/new-amazon-ebs-snapshots-archive/ https://aws.amazon.com/fr/blogs/aws/new-amazon-ebs-snapshots...
