**To export a snapshot to Amazon S3**

The following ``start-export-task`` example exports a DB snapshot named ``db5-snapshot-test`` to the Amazon S3 bucket named ``mybucket``. ::

    aws rds start-export-task \
        --export-task-identifier my-s3-export \
        --source-arn arn:aws:rds:us-west-2:123456789012:snapshot:db5-snapshot-test \
        --s3-bucket-name mybucket \
        --iam-role-arn arn:aws:iam::123456789012:role/service-role/ExportRole \
        --kms-key-id arn:aws:kms:us-west-2:123456789012:key/abcd0000-7fca-4128-82f2-aabbccddeeff

Output::

    {
        "ExportTaskIdentifier": "my-s3-export",
        "SourceArn": "arn:aws:rds:us-west-2:123456789012:snapshot:db5-snapshot-test",
