Creating a manual snapshot - Amazon Redshift

Amazon Redshift will no longer support the creation of new Python UDFs starting Patch 198. Existing Python UDFs will continue to function until June 30, 2026. For more information, see the blog post .

Creating a manual snapshot

You can create a manual snapshot of a cluster from the snapshots list as follows. Or, you can take a snapshot of a cluster in the cluster configuration pane. For more information, see Amazon Redshift snapshots and backups.

Note

No-backup tables aren't supported for RA3 provisioned clusters and Amazon Redshift Serverless workgroups. A table marked as no-backup in an RA3 cluster or serverless workgroup is treated as a permanent table that will always be backed up while taking a snapshot, and always restored when restoring from a snapshot. To avoid snapshot costs for no-backup tables, truncate them before taking a snapshot.

To create a manual 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, Snapshots, then choose Create snapshot. The snapshot page to create a manual snapshot is displayed.

  3. Enter the properties of the snapshot definition, then choose Create snapshot. It might take some time for the snapshot to be available.
