Using AWS Backup to manage automated backups - Amazon Relational Database Service

Using AWS Backup to manage automated backups

AWS Backup is a fully managed backup service that makes it easy to centralize and automate the backup of data across AWS services in the cloud and on premises. You can manage backups of your Amazon RDS databases in AWS Backup.

Note

Backups managed by AWS Backup are considered manual DB snapshots, but don't count toward the DB snapshot quota for RDS. Backups that were created with AWS Backup have names ending in awsbackup:backup-job-number.

For more information about AWS Backup, see the AWS Backup Developer Guide.
