Hello ,
Amazon Redshift provisioned cluster takes snapshots which are are point-in-time backups of a cluster.
There are 2 types of snapshots
Automated snapshots - By default automated snapshots are enabled when you create a cluster, Amazon Redshift periodically takes snapshots of that cluster. By default Amazon Redshift takes a snapshot about every eight hours or following every 5 GB per node of data changes, or whichever comes first. You can change the schedule based on your requirement.
Manual snapshot - You can take a manual snapshot any time. By default, manual snapshots are retained indefinitely, even after you delete your cluster. You can also automate creation of manual snapshot if you need to retain the snapshot even after deleting the cluster.
Please refer to this doc for more details - https://docs.aws.amazon.com/redshift/latest/mgmt/working-with-snapshots.html
Please refer to this doc - https://docs.aws.amazon.com/redshift/latest/mgmt/serverless-snapshots-recovery-points.html to learn about Amazon Redshift serverless backups.
