Amazon Redshift customers rely heavily on snapshots, which are point-in-time backups of their data, for disaster recovery, compliance retention, and data portability across AWS Regions. Amazon Redshift supports two types of snapshots: automated and manual. For provisioned clusters, automated snapshots are enabled by default and retained for up to 35 days; manual snapshots persist until you delete them. For serverless workgroups, Amazon Redshift automatically creates recovery points that are retained for 24 hours, and you can also create manual snapshots with a configurable retention period. For details on snapshot creation and backup storage pricing, you can refer to Amazon Redshift pricing for more details.
