The Virtual Server Agent (VSA) for Amazon provides IntelliSnap backups, which enable you to create point-in-time snapshots of instance data. You can back up large numbers of instances quickly, perform multiple backups each day, and recover full instances.
This approach helps you manage snapshots in a unified way without depending on a single storage solution.
