Issue with copying RDS Multi AZ Cluster snapshot to different region

Question

Hello,
  Is there a way to copy an RDS Multi AZ Cluster snapshot to a different region?

When I try using the cli I get the error: "An error occurred (InvalidParameterCombination) when calling the CopyDBClusterSnapshot operation: You can't copy a cross-Region Multi-AZ DB cluster snapshot."

```
aws rds --profile ${PROFILE} copy-db-cluster-snapshot --region ${DEST_REGION_2} --source-db-cluster-snapshot-identifier ${SNAP} --target-db-cluster-snapshot-identifier ${SNAP}
```

The UI gives almost the same error.

Thanks!

Answer

Assuming this is Aurora:

Could it be the combination of source and destination regions? See: [Cross-Region snapshot copying](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/AuroraUserGuide/aurora-copy-snapshot.html#aurora-copy-snapshot.AcrossRegions).

Also, you cannot copy across regions and accounts with one step.

Answer

Thank you.  Is there any way to know if items on that list will be supported and when?

Answer

The cluster is a mysql db.

The source region is us-east-1 and the destination is us-west-2.
