# CreateTieringConfiguration
<a name="API_CreateTieringConfiguration"></a>

Creates a tiering configuration.

A tiering configuration enables automatic movement of backup data to a lower-cost storage tier based on the age of backed-up objects in the backup vault.

Each vault can only have one vault-specific tiering configuration, in addition to any global configuration that applies to all vaults.
