At this time, snapshots cannot be copied across Regions. However, data on Amazon EBS volumes can be copied across Regions out of band, For example, you can run an instance in the Region with the source volume, run an instance in the destination Region with a new volume attached, and use rsync or some other file copy mechanism to copy data.
