When designing an Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager (DLM) policy for cross-region EBS snapshot copies, a company should consider:Retention Periods: Set separate retention rules and expiration schedules for each target AWS Region independently of the source Region.Encryption & KMS Keys: Configure AWS Key Management Service (KMS) encryption keys and permissions for the destination Region if the source volume is encrypted.Region Limits: Limit cross-region copies to a maximum of three AWS Regions per single DLM policy.Incremental Copy Behavior: Note that deleting the most recent snapshot copy in the destination Region makes the next copy a full, non-incremental transfer
