Copying an automated snapshot - Amazon Redshift
Services or capabilities described in Amazon Web Services documentation might vary by Region. To see the differences applicable to the China Regions, see Getting Started with Amazon Web Services in China (PDF).

Amazon Redshift will no longer support the use of Python UDFs after June 30, 2026. We will start enforcing it in phases. For more information on the details of Python end of life and migration options, see the blog post that was published on June 30, 2025.

Copying an automated snapshot

Automated snapshots are automatically deleted when their retention period expires, when you disable automated snapshots, or when you delete a cluster. If you want to keep an automated snapshot, you can copy it to a manual snapshot.

To copy an automated snapshot

  1. Sign in to the Amazon Web Services Management Console and open the Amazon Redshift console at https://console.amazonaws.cn/redshiftv2/.

  2. On the navigation menu, choose Clusters, Snapshots, then choose the snapshot to copy.

  3. For Actions, choose Copy automated snapshot to copy the snapshot.

  4. Update the properties of the new snapshot, then choose Copy.
