Restoring Amazon EC2

Did something wrong on EC2? dont panic. If you have a snapshot of the EC2 EBS (Elastic Block Store), you can easily restore this in under 2 minutes.

  • Goto your snapshots and create a volume from the snapshot
  • Go to the instance and stop the instance running
  • Detach the EBS from the instance
  • Attach the new volume to the instance, make sure its /dev/sta1
  • Now reinitiate the instance
  • If you have an elastic IP, now you can relink this ip to your instance
