RDS Backup and Restore using AWS Backup

[44/100] #100DaysOfCloud Today, I created an automated backup of Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) and restored the backup.

AWS Backup is a fully-managed service that makes it easy to centralize and automate data protection across AWS services, in the cloud, and on premises. Using this service, you can configure backup policies and monitor activity for your AWS resources in one place. It allows you to automate and consolidate backup tasks that were previously performed service-by-service, and removes the need to create custom scripts and manual processes. With a few clicks in the AWS Backup console, you can automate your data protection policies and schedules.

Use cases :

  • Cloud-native backup
    • Back up key data stores, such as your buckets, volumes, databases, and file systems, across AWS services.
  • Hybrid data protection
    • Centralize data protection management for your applications running in hybrid environments, such as VMware workloads and AWS Storage Gateway volumes.
  • Centralized data protection policies
    • Configure, manage, and govern your backup activity across your company’s AWS accounts, resources, and AWS Regions.
  • Data protection compliance
    • Examine your resources against data protection policies to ensure compliance with organizational or regulatory requirements.

You can try do it by yourself by following the steps from the link below: GitHub
