Snapshot in lightsail

0

Dear support Team,

I have AWS lightsail account and 2 instances are running. When I try to take the snapshot, there is a pop-up message to stop the instance. Is there any option to take the backup (snapshot) without stopping the instance? So that I can automate the backup process?

Regards, Deva

Unfortunately, automatic snapshots are not supported for Lightsail on Windows.
https://lightsail.aws.amazon.com/ls/docs/en_us/articles/amazon-lightsail-configuring-automatic-snapshots

Automatic snapshot is currently not supported for Windows instances, or managed databases. Instead, you must create manual snapshots of your Windows instances or managed databases to back them up. For more information, see Creating a snapshot of your Windows Server instance in Amazon Lightsail and Creating a snapshot of your database in Amazon Lightsail. Managed databases also have the point-in-time backup feature enabled by default, which you can use to restore your data to a new database. For more information, see Creating a database from a point-in-time backup in Amazon Lightsail.

Also, in the case of Windows, you must stop the system once as per the procedure in the following document when manually creating a snapshot.

Hi Deva, You don't have to develop that by yourself: it already exists. See full explanations on https://lightsail.aws.amazon.com/ls/docs/en_us/articles/understanding-instance-snapshots-in-amazon-lightsail#automatic-snapshots.

Hope it helps!

  • Thank you. But when I select snapshots, in the below there is a message saying

    • Create snapshot Automatic snapshots ? " Automatic snapshots are not supported for Windows instances at this time. "
  • Oh, I see: you did not mention that initially. What kind of web development do you have? PHP or some other Linux-compatible language? If yes, you should consider switching to Linux: it would also get cheaper for you on the hosting price .
