Enable Automatic Backups​

From Command Line​

For a Redis cluster with cluster mode enabled (Replication Group):

aws elasticache modify-replication-group \
    --replication-group-id {{replication-group-id}} \
    --snapshot-retention-limit {{7}} \
    --apply-immediately

For a Redis cluster with cluster mode disabled (Single Node or Non-Clustered):

aws elasticache modify-cache-cluster \
    --cache-cluster-id {{cache-cluster-id}} \
    --snapshot-retention-limit {{7}} \
    --apply-immediately

Adjust the --snapshot-retention-limit value to meet your organization’s backup retention policy.

Using --apply-immediately applies changes immediately; omit it to defer the change until the next maintenance window.
