Step 3:Verify Data in the Target Cluster
After the restore operation completes, you can verify that the data in the target cluster meets your
expectation of the data that you had in the snapshot from the source.You can use a SQL client tool to
connect to the target cluster and run a query to validate the data in the new cluster. For example, you
can run the same queries that you ran in the Amazon Redshift Getting Started exercise:
