Is it possible to dowload a Windows AMI created in EC2 for a local copy

I am making a backup of all the instances in EC2 and I am following the best practices specified by techsoup for backup

In this it is mentioned to keep a local copy of the server at 2 different locations. I was wondering if it is possible to download a Windows AMI created in Amazon EC2 which was not exported from the local VM or using the AWS CLI. It is completely an EC2 instance whose AMI was created for backup.

Can I keep a local copy of the AMI for on-premise backup?

No, it is not possible. If the AMI needs to be kept in two locations then those locations should be separate AWS regions. You can copy the AMI to another region using the AWS CLI's copy-image or via the AWS console.
