snapshotType

The type of snapshots to be returned. You can specify one of the following values:

• automated - Return all DB snapshots that have been automatically taken by Amazon RDS for my Amazon Web Services account.

• manual - Return all DB snapshots that have been taken by my Amazon Web Services account.

• shared - Return all manual DB snapshots that have been shared to my Amazon Web Services account.

• public - Return all DB snapshots that have been marked as public.

• awsbackup - Return the DB snapshots managed by the Amazon Web Services Backup service.For information about Amazon Web Services Backup, see the Amazon Web Services Backup Developer Guide.The awsbackup type does not apply to Aurora.

If you don't specify a SnapshotType value, then both automated and manual snapshots are returned. Shared and public DB snapshots are not included in the returned results by default. You can include shared snapshots with these results by enabling the IncludeShared parameter. You can include public snapshots with these results by enabling the IncludePublic parameter.

The IncludeShared and IncludePublic parameters don't apply for SnapshotType values of manual or automated. The IncludePublic parameter doesn't apply when SnapshotType is set to shared. The IncludeShared parameter doesn't apply when SnapshotType is set to public.
