Creating a manual snapshot - Amazon Redshift

Amazon Redshift will no longer support the creation of new Python UDFs starting November 1, 2025. If you would like to use Python UDFs, create the UDFs prior to that date. Existing Python UDFs will continue to function as normal. 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

A table marked as no-backup in RA3 and Serverless is treated as a permanent table and will always be backed up when you create 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.
