Amazon Redshift now supports cross-region backups for KMS-encrypted clusters

Posted on: Jul 28, 2015

You can now configure Amazon Redshift to automatically copy snapshots of your KMS-encrypted clusters to another region of your choice. By storing a copy of your snapshots in a secondary region, you have the ability to restore your cluster from recent data if anything affects the primary region. For details on how to enable automatic cross-region backups for your KMS-encrypted clusters, refer to the Snapshots section of the Amazon Redshift management guide.

Amazon Redshift makes it easy to launch a high-performance, petabyte-scale data warehouse for less than $1000/TB/year. Get started with a free 2-month trial.
