AmazonEC2Client.CreateSnapshot Method (CreateSnapshotRequest)

Create a snapshot of the volume identified by volume ID. A volume does not have to be detached at the time the snapshot is taken.

NOTE: Snapshot creation requires that the system is in a consistent state. For instance, this means that if taking a snapshot of a database, the tables must be read-only locked to ensure that the snapshot will not contain a corrupted version of the database. Therefore, be careful when using this API to ensure that the system remains in the consistent state until the create snapshot status has returned.
