Step 5. Enable Encryption

[This step applies only if you have selected the Restore to new location, or with different settings option at the Restore Mode step of the wizard]

At the Encryption step of the wizard, choose whether the restored RDS resources must be encrypted with AWS KMS keys:

• If you do not want to encrypt the RDS resources or want to apply the existing encryption scheme, select the Use original encryption scheme option.
• If you want to encrypt the RDS resources, select the Restore as encrypted instance option and choose the necessary KMS key from the Encryption key list.

For a KMS key to be displayed in the list of available encryption keys, it must be stored in the AWS Region selected at step 4 and the IAM role specified for the restore operation must have permissions to the key.  For more information on KMS keys, see AWS Documentation.
