# POST /#Action=CopyDBSnapshot

`POST /#Action=CopyDBSnapshot`

Copies the specified DB snapshot. The source DB snapshot must be in the `available` state.

You can copy a snapshot from one Amazon Web Services Region to another. In that case, the Amazon Web Services Region where you call the `CopyDBSnapshot` operation is the destination Amazon Web Services Region for the DB snapshot copy.

This command doesn't apply to RDS Custom.

For more information about copying snapshots, see [Copying a DB Snapshot](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/USER_CopySnapshot.html#USER_CopyDBSnapshot) in the _Amazon RDS User Guide_.
