Benefits of AWS Snapshots
Some benefits of AWS Snapshots are listed below:
- Automation: The data stored in the AWS EBS will be dynamical meas the data will continuously added to the volume so instead of performing manually you can automate the whole processes like you can set the timer in the snapshots configuration while creating AWS snapshots then snapshots will be automatically with in the certain intervals of time.
- Cost-effective: The design of AWS Snapshots will make them effective for the cost wise. Because AWS snapshots will follow the incremental type which the data added new to the existing storage will only been taken as an snapshots not the entire data. The pricing will only depends on the amount of data have been backed up.
- Secure: The data which is been backed up using AWS snapshots will have an encryption and also you can re-encrypt the snapshots depending on the requirement.
- High Availability: The snapshots which we have taken will directly stored to amazon S3 for long term purpose. S3 is designed for 99.99999999% (11 nines) durability, ensuring higher availability of your EBS Snapshots.

Data is the most important thing anywhere over the internet. Everyone wants to be more secure and save when it comes to their Data security. Data on your Amazon EBS volume can also be back up to Amazon S3 Bucket by taking a point-in-time Snapshot. Snapshots can be used to create a backup of critical workloads, such as a large database or a file system that spans across multiple EBS volumes.
