**To describe snapshots** The following ''describe-snapshots'' example returns information about your cluster or replication group snapshots. :: aws elasticache describe-snapshots Output:: { "Snapshots": [ { "SnapshotName": "automatic.my-cluster2-002-2019-12-05-06-38", "CacheClusterId": "my-cluster2-002", "SnapshotStatus": "available", "SnapshotSource": "automated", "CacheNodeType": "cache.r5.large", "Engine": "redis", "EngineVersion": "5.0.5", "NumCacheNodes": 1, "PreferredAvailabilityZone": "us-west-2a", "CacheClusterCreateTime": "2019-11-26T01:22:52.396Z", "PreferredMaintenanceWindow": "mon:17:30-mon:18:30", "TopicArn": "arn:aws:sns:us-west-2:xxxxxxxxx52:My_Topic", "Port": 6379, "CacheParameterGroupName": "default.redis5.0", "CacheSubnetGroupName": "kxkxk", "VpcId": "vpc-a3e97cdb", "AutoMinorVersionUpgrade": true, "SnapshotRetentionLimit": 1, "SnapshotWindow": "06:30-07:30", "NodeSnapshots": [ { "CacheNodeId": "0001", "CacheSize": "5 MB", "CacheNodeCreateTime": "2019-11-26T01:22:52.396Z", "SnapshotCreateTime": "2019-12-05T06:38:23Z" } ] }, { "SnapshotName": "myreplica-backup", "CacheClusterId": "myreplica", "SnapshotStatus": "available", "SnapshotSource": "manual", "CacheNodeType": "cache.r5.large", "Engine": "redis", "EngineVersion": "5.0.5", "NumCacheNodes": 1, "PreferredAvailabilityZone": "us-west-2a", "CacheClusterCreateTime": "2019-11-26T00:14:52.439Z", "PreferredMaintenanceWindow": "sat:10:00-sat:11:00", "TopicArn": "arn:aws:sns:us-west-2:xxxxxxxxxx152:My_Topic", "Port": 6379, "CacheParameterGroupName": "default.redis5.0", "CacheSubnetGroupName": "kxkxk", "VpcId": "vpc-a3e97cdb", "AutoMinorVersionUpgrade": true, "SnapshotRetentionLimit": 0, "SnapshotWindow": "09:00-10:00", "NodeSnapshots": [ { "CacheNodeId": "0001", "CacheSize": "5 MB", "CacheNodeCreateTime": "2019-11-26T00:14:52.439Z", "SnapshotCreateTime": "2019-11-26T00:25:01Z" } ] }, { "SnapshotName": "my-cluster", "CacheClusterId": "my-cluster-003", "SnapshotStatus": "available", "SnapshotSource": "manual", "CacheNodeType": "cache.r5.large", "Engine": "redis", "EngineVersion": "5.0.5", "NumCacheNodes": 1, "PreferredAvailabilityZone": "us-west-2a", "CacheClusterCreateTime": "2019-11-25T23:56:17.186Z", "PreferredMaintenanceWindow": "sat:10:00-sat:11:00", "TopicArn": "arn:aws:sns:us-west-2:xxxxxxxxxx152:My_Topic", "Port": 6379, "CacheParameterGroupName": "default.redis5.0", "CacheSubnetGroupName": "kxkxk", "VpcId": "vpc-a3e97cdb", "AutoMinorVersionUpgrade": true, "SnapshotRetentionLimit": 0, "SnapshotWindow": "09:00-10:00", "NodeSnapshots": [ { "CacheNodeId": "0001", "CacheSize": "5 MB", "CacheNodeCreateTime": "2019-11-25T23:56:17.186Z", "SnapshotCreateTime": "2019-11-26T03:08:33Z" } ] } ] } For more information, see `Backup and Restore for ElastiCache for Redis <https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonElastiCache/latest/red-ug/backups.html>`__ in the *Elasticache User Guide*.
