Basic Description about the same can be found from EC2 page.

One can create Volumes as shown below:

EBS Snapshots can be taken for periodic backup and DR purposes. Hence, to take any snapshot particularly related to EBS, its necessary to either stop the instance (for root volumes) or unmount the instance (for extra drives) to prevent any further write operation, post which the snapshot can be taken.

The EBS Snapshots can then later be made available to other new volumes, which can then be attached to another EC2 instances all together.
