I'm trying to write a tool which manages Amazon AWS snapshots automatically according to some very simple rules. These snapshots are created on a schedule set up in Amazon Storage Gateway, and show up as you'd expect in the web interface for that tool.
The Storage Gateway API only has operations for snapshots as far as the snapshot schedule goes. EC2 is the API which talks about snapshots. The problem is that if I DescribeSnapshots through that API I see many many hundreds of snapshots, but none of them have volume IDs which match the volume IDs of the snapshots created from Storage Gateway. They're just random public snapshots which I'm not interested in.
So I guess Storage Gateway snapshots are different somehow, but is there a way to use any of Amazon's APIs to list and manipulate them?
EDIT: Interestingly, they do show up in the EC2 web control panel.
