How to import EC2 snapshot from S3 backup

0 votes

Hi, I want to know how to backup EC2 snapshots to S3 bucket and import it back afterward. But I want to do it using AWS CLI. I found an article on, in which it was told that you can use 'import' command. But i have trouble understanding how the command works. So any basic examples would be of great help.

EC2 snapshots are by default stored on Amazon S3 standard storage. However, it's not possible to copy the snapshot to a specific S3 bucket using the AWS CLI. May there is some third party tool available using which you can achieve the required results. But my doubt is why would you want to download a snapshot to your s3 bucket? It's like paying for the snapshot twice!!!
