      I agree. You can perform snapshot *administration* via the api, but you can only access the files within the snapshot by first creating a new volume. “access” in this context is ambiguous.

    I should say A:
    “You can back up the data on your EBS volumes to Amazon S3 by taking point-in-time snapshots.”
    If you can share, it means you can access:
    “You can share your unencrypted snapshots with specific AWS accounts, make them public to share them with the entire AWS community. Users with access to your snapshots can create their own EBS volumes from your snapshot. This doesn’t affect your snapshot”

    Restoring an Amazon EBS Volume from a Snapshot

    You can restore an Amazon EBS volume with data from a snapshot stored in Amazon S3. You need to know the ID of the snapshot you wish to restore your volume from and you need to have access permissions for the snapshot. For more information on snapshots, see Amazon EBS Snapshots.
