**To describe source Regions**

The following ``describe-source-regions`` example retrieves details about all of the source AWS Regions. It also shows that automated backups can be replicated only from US West (Oregon) to the destination AWS Region, US East (N. Virginia). ::

    aws rds describe-source-regions \
        --region us-east-1

Output::
