Configuring cross-Region snapshot copy for a nonencrypted cluster

You can configure Amazon Redshift to copy snapshots for a cluster to another Amazon Region. To configure cross-Region snapshot copy, you need to enable this copy feature for each cluster and configure where to copy snapshots and how long to keep copied automated or manual snapshots in the destination Amazon Region. When cross-Region copy is enabled for a cluster, all new manual and automated snapshots are copied to the specified Amazon Region. Copied snapshot names are prefixed with copy:.

  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, then choose the cluster that you want to move snapshots for.
