A sys admin is trying to understand EBS snapshots. Which of the below mentioned statements will not be useful to the admin to understand the concepts about a snapshot?

A. The snapshot is synchronous

B. It is recommended to stop the instance before taking

a snapshot for consistent data

C. The snapshot is incremental

D. The snapshot captures the data that has been written to the hard disk when the snapshot command was executed

Explanation:

The AWS snapshot is a point in time backup of an EBS

volume. When the snapshot command is executed it will capture the current state of the data that is written on the drive and take a backup. For a better and consistent snapshot of the root EBS volume, AWS recommends stopping the instance. For additional vo

lumes it is recommended to unmount the device. The snapshots are asynchronous and incremental.
