AWS EC2: Restore a volume to the same server with different mount

If you accidentally delete some files in your EC2 , you don’t want to restore the whole volume, you just want to restore some files on it.

The easiest way to do this is to mount the backup volume to a different EC2 and mount it from there.

In case you want to mount that backup volume to the same server and you want to mount it to a different mount point to copy. There will be a challenge for you. Since the backup snapshot will have the same UUID with the existing file system , you will not be able to import it. You have to change the UUID
