Amazon aws - how to set up scheduled snapshots?

Question

Amazon Web Services

Welcome all!
The project is spinning on Amazon aws (about a year). I did not participate in the deployment and had no business with Amazon services before.
There was a question about the constant backup of the entire site. I found out that it is possible to make disk snapshots manually, but how to automate the process remained a mystery (I did not find it in the admin panel).
In the "ELASTIC BLOCK STORE"=>Snapshots section, new entries appear every day, but only one of the disks (a total of 2 disks have been created).
Tell me how to add a second disk to the list for automatic creation of snapshots?
Is it possible to create snapshots on a schedule?

Answer 1

This cannot be configured automatically in the web console, most likely some script makes a snapshot of the disk using cron on ec2.
Add a snapshot of the second disk to it.

Answer 2
