title: Download MySql Backup/Snapshot from Amazon RDS
body: <p>I have hosted my MySql Database on Amazon RDS on my Production Instance. I have another RDS instance for Development purpose. Now I am looking for best/fastest way to restore database backup/snapshot from Production Instance to Development Instance, because My database is very huge and Backup downloading process is very time taking job as well as it's block my all tables for read/write transaction. Or Is there any option for download backup without blocking insert/update/select transaction?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
  
  <p><strong>EDIT :</strong></p>
  
  <p>Here one mistake I have done, In above question I mean to say <strong><em>account</em></strong> not an <strong><em>Instance</em></strong>. I have two different accounts, one for production and another is for development/testing. I would like to restore snapshot from production account's instance to the development account's instance, and both instances are located in same region (e.g. singapore).</p>
