title: How to save/backup amazon instance local
body: <p>I would like to lower the cost paying to Amazon.
  There are stopped instances that I want to backup and save on my local server, on-prem.</p>
  
  <p>After creating an image from the instance, is there any way I can copy AMI to my local server and remove it from Amazon. So in a day, I will need back, it can transfer back from my local server to Amazon to use it again?</p>
  
  <p>The instance first created on Amazon.<br>I rather a way to save instance on-premise as a file and not as a virtual server. <br>
  The main issue is: How can I transfer and save the image of an instance, that created on Amazon, as a file to the local server and how I can return it back to be in  Amazon, in case I need to build the instance again.</p>
  
  <p>Is there any way to do it?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks a lot!</p>
