Step 6. Configure Instance Types and Encryption

[This step is available if you have selected the Restore to a new location, or with different settings option at the Restore Mode step of the wizard.]

At the Instance Type step of the wizard, you can select the type for the restored instances, storage types and choose whether EBS volumes of these DB instances must be encrypted with KMS keys. For more information on KMS keys, see the AWS KMS keys section in AWS documentation.
