AWS Certified Solutions Architect study material · question 305 of 500

A team creates a new EBS volume from a snapshot. What state does the volume start in?

  1. An empty volume that must be restored separately
  2. A read-only copy until it is detached and reattached
  3. A volume containing only the blocks changed since the previous snapshot
  4. An exact replica of the source volume at the moment the snapshot was taken
Show the answer

Answer: D. An exact replica of the source volume at the moment the snapshot was taken

Each snapshot contains everything needed to restore the data, so a volume created from it starts as an exact replica.
