A user is creating a snapshot of an EBS volume. Which of the below statements is incorrect in relation to the creation of an EBS snapshot?

A.
Its incremental
B. It is a point in time backup of the EBS volume
C. It can be used to create an AMI
D. It is stored in the same AZ as the volume

Correct Answer: D

Explanation:

Explanation: The EBS snapshots are a point in time backup of the EBS volume. It is an incremental snapshot, but is always specific to the region and never specific to a single AZ. Hence the statement “It is stored in the same AZ as the volume” is incorrect.
