Then, use the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) console, or the AWS Command Line Interface to copy the snapshot to another Region. Before copying the snapshot, see Copy an Amazon EBS snapshot and check the Prerequisites, Considerations, and Pricing.Note: If you delete the most recent snapshot copy, then the next copy that you create is a complete, non-incremental copy. Because it's a full copy, the snapshot incurs storage costs.
