Creates crash-consistent snapshots of multiple EBS volumes attached to an Amazon EC2 instance. Volumes are chosen by specifying an instance. Each volume attached to the specified instance will produce one snapshot that is crash-consistent across the instance. You can include all of the volumes currently attached to the instance, or you can exclude the root volume or specific data (non-root) volumes from the multi-volume snapshot set.

The location of the source instance determines where you can create the snapshots.
