OK - I see it under the DB snapshots, Automated Snapshots (Had it selected to Manual Snapshots and hence could not see it).
I had the same issue, what I did is I wrote a simple bash script to do this for me, but I works fine in a single region, it doesn't work with multiple regions, here is the script http://geekospace.com/back-up-and-restore-the-database-between-two-aws-ec2-instances.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
