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.
Caution
You cannot modify the destination region after cross-region snapshot copy is configured. If you
want to copy snapshots to a different region, you must first disable cross-region snapshot copy,
and then re-enable it with a new destination region and retention period. Because any copied
automated snapshots are deleted after you disable cross-region snapshot copy, 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 the retention period for snapshots copied to a destination cluster
1. Sign into the AWS Management Console and open the Amazon Redshift console at https://
console.aws.amazon.com/redshift.
2. In the navigation pane, click Clusters.
3. Click Backup, and then click Configure Cross Region Snapshots.
4. In the Retention Period box, select the new number of days that you want automated snapshots to
be retained in the destination region.
