EC2 backup strategy, 2 EBS volumes
i've currently set up a Windows EC2 instance with MySQL installed on the
root/C: drive, with the database files, logs, etc on another volume.
Is it safe to use snapshots to back up the instance? My thinking is that
it would be impossible to take a snapshot of each volume at the exact same
time, so you don't have a consistent snapshot of the entire instance.
If there is such an issue, what other backup options are there? Back up
using AMIs instead?
