# Stopping automated backup replication for Amazon RDS
Stopping backup replication

You can stop backup replication for DB instances using the Amazon RDS console. You can also use the `stop-db-instance-automated-backups-replication` AWS CLI command or the `StopDBInstanceAutomatedBackupsReplication` RDS API operation.

Replicated backups are retained, subject to the backup retention period set when they were created.

## Console


Stop backup replication from the **Automated backups** page in the source Region.

**To stop backup replication to an AWS Region**

1. Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the Amazon RDS console at [https://console.aws.amazon.com/rds/](https://console.aws.amazon.com/rds/).

1. Choose the source Region from the **Region selector**.

1. In the navigation pane, choose **Automated backups**.

1. On the **Current Region** tab, choose the DB instance for which you want to stop backup replication.

1. For **Actions**, choose **Manage cross-Region replication**.

1. Under **Backup replication**, clear the **Enable replication to another AWS Region** check box.

1. Choose **Save**.

Replicated backups are listed on the **Retained** tab of the **Automated backups** page in the destination Region.
