I have selected an instance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Target with these tags<\/strong>\u2013The resource tags that identify the volumes or instances to back up.

For retention based on the count, the range is 1 to 1000. After the maximum count is reached, the oldest snapshot is deleted when a new one is created. For age-based retention, the range is 1 day to 100 years. After the retention period of each snapshot expires, it is deleted. The retention period should be greater than or equal to the creation interval.
