Explanation

To create cross-Region backups of EBS volumes with encryption, Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager (Amazon DLM) can be used. With Amazon DLM, it is possible to automate the creation, retention, and deletion of EBS volume snapshots. In this scenario, a lifecycle policy can be configured to create EBS volume snapshots with cross-Region backups enabled. The snapshot copies can be encrypted using AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS).
