<p>Initiates a snapshot of a gateway from a volume recovery point. This operation is only supported in the cached volume gateway type.</p> <p>A volume recovery point is a point in time at which all data of the volume is consistent and from which you can create a snapshot. To get a list of volume recovery point for cached volume gateway, use <a>ListVolumeRecoveryPoints</a>.</p> <p>In the <code>CreateSnapshotFromVolumeRecoveryPoint</code> request, you identify the volume by providing its Amazon Resource Name (ARN). You must also provide a description for the snapshot. When the gateway takes a snapshot of the specified volume, the snapshot and its description appear in the Storage Gateway console. In response, the gateway returns you a snapshot ID. You can use this snapshot ID to check the snapshot progress or later use it when you want to create a volume from a snapshot.</p> <note> <p>To list or delete a snapshot, you must use the Amazon EC2 API. For more information, see <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/APIReference/API_DescribeSnapshots.html">DescribeSnapshots</a> or <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/APIReference/API_DeleteSnapshot.html">DeleteSnapshot</a> in the <i>Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud API Reference</i>.</p> </note>
