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 AWS Region after cross-Region snapshot copy is configured.

If you want to copy snapshots to a different AWS Region, first disable cross-Region snapshot copy. Then re-enable it with a new destination AWS 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 AWS Management Console and open the Amazon Redshift console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/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.
