Describing backups - Amazon ElastiCache

Describing backups

The following procedures show you how to display a list of your backups. If you desire, you can also view the details of a particular backup.

To display backups using the AWS Management Console

  1. Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the ElastiCache console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/elasticache/.

  2. From the navigation pane, choose Backups.

  3. To see the details of a particular backup, choose the box to the left of the backup's name.

To display a list of serverless backups and optionally details about a specific backup, use the describe-serverless-cache-snapshots CLI operation.
