Modifying the retention period for cross-Region snapshot copy - 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.

Modifying the retention period for cross-Region snapshot copy

After you configure cross-Region snapshot copy, you might want to change the settings. You can easily change the retention period by selecting a new number of days and saving the changes.

Warning

You can't modify the destination Amazon Region after cross-Region snapshot copy is configured.

If you want to copy snapshots to a different Amazon Region, first disable cross-Region snapshot copy. Then re-enable it with a new destination Amazon Region and retention period. Any copied automated snapshots are deleted after you disable cross-Region snapshot copy. Thus, you should determine if there are any that you want to keep and copy them to manual snapshots before disabling cross-Region snapshot copy.

To modify a cross-Region 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, then choose the cluster that you want to modify snapshots for.

  3. For Actions, choose Configure cross-region snapshot to display the properties of the snapshot.

  4. Enter the revised properties of the snapshot definition, then choose Save.
