   The instance page appears.

4. Click the Cluster groups tab and then click Create cluster group.

   The Create cluster group dialog box appears.

5. In the Cluster group box, type a name for the cluster group.

6. From the Plan list, select the backup plan to use for the backups.

   Note

   For export-based backups, select a plan that uses Air Gap Protect AWS S3 storage. The storage and the Redshift cluster must be in the same AWS region.

   Note

   After you enable export-based backups, you can't disable them.

   - Move the Enable export based backups toggle key to the right.

   - From the Database user credentials list, select an existing credential or create a new credential. The user must have access to all entities across all databases in the cluster.
