Today, Amazon AWS announced yet another performance update to its EC2 Cross-Region EBS Snapshot Copy. Back in December 12, 2012, they announced EBS Snapshot Copy to allow cross-region transfer of existing snapshots for better disaster recovery. Starting today, they claim they will only transfer the data that has changed since your last snapshot copy, thus transferring and storing less data and completing the copy faster.

Even when copying from the first time, the cross-region copy performance is excellent; 10GB disk snapshot was transferred and became available 7 minutes after initiating the copy.
EBS Snapshot Copy is simple to use. In the AWS Management Console, you can select the snapshot to be copied, set the destination region, and start the copy. This feature can also be accessed via an EC2 Command Line Interface or an EC2 API.
