What is AWS EBS:FastSnapshotRestore?

Last updated: April 27, 2025

Fast Snapshot Restore (FSR) allows you to promptly restore fully provisioned EBS volumes from snapshots, regardless of the size of the volume or snapshot. FSR is charged in Data Services Unit-Hours (DSU-Hours) for each snapshot and each Availability Zone in which it is enabled. DSUs mean that you are billed per minute with a one-hour minimum. You will continue to incur charges on an FSR-enabled snapshot until you disable it.
