When deleting a Valkey cache, Memcached serverless cache, or Redis OSS cache
To create a final backup, use the delete-serverless-cache AWS CLI operation with
the following parameters.
-
--serverless-cache-name– Name of the cache being deleted. -
--final-snapshot-name– Name of the backup.
The following code creates the final backup bkup-20231127-final when deleting the
cache myserverlesscache.
For Linux, macOS, or Unix:
aws elasticache delete-serverless-cache \ --serverless-cache-namemyserverlesscache\ --final-snapshot-namebkup-20231127-final
For Windows:
aws elasticache delete-serverless-cache ^ --serverless-cache-namemyserverlesscache^ --final-snapshot-namebkup-20231127-final
For more information, see delete-serverless-cache in the AWS CLI Command Reference.
When deleting a Valkey or Redis OSS cluster with no read replicas
To create a final backup for a self-designed cluster with no read replicas, use the delete-cache-cluster AWS CLI operation with
the following parameters.
-
--cache-cluster-id– Name of the cluster being deleted. -
--final-snapshot-identifier– Name of the backup.
The following code creates the final backup bkup-20150515-final when deleting the
cluster myRedisCluster.
For Linux, macOS, or Unix:
aws elasticache delete-cache-cluster \ --cache-cluster-idmyRedisCluster\ --final-snapshot-identifierbkup-20150515-final
For Windows:
aws elasticache delete-cache-cluster ^ --cache-cluster-idmyRedisCluster^ --final-snapshot-identifierbkup-20150515-final

To create a final backup when deleting a replication group, use the
delete-replication-group AWS CLI operation, with the following
parameters:
-
--replication-group-id– Name of the replication group being deleted. -
--final-snapshot-identifier– Name of the final backup.
The following code takes the final backup bkup-20150515-final when deleting the
replication group myReplGroup.
For Linux, macOS, or Unix:
aws elasticache delete-replication-group \ --replication-group-idmyReplGroup\ --final-snapshot-identifierbkup-20150515-final
For Windows:
aws elasticache delete-replication-group ^ --replication-group-idmyReplGroup^ --final-snapshot-identifierbkup-20150515-final
