Automate Amazon EBS Snapshot creation?

Question

Once in a while I would go to http://aws.amazon.com/console and manually right click my EBS volume and create a snapshot.

This is kind of tedious and I would forget sometimes. Is it possible to automate this actions and say, make a daily or weekly snapshot?

I'm using a Windows Server instance.

Answer 1

Use AMI Tools:

• install AMI Tools
• create snapshot
