RDS Data

To view and manage backed-up RDS data, navigate to Protected Data > RDS. The RDS tab displays information on all protected DB instances and Aurora DB clusters and allows you to remove restore points of the instances if you no longer need them.

For each backed-up RDS resource, Veeam Backup for AWS creates a record in the configuration database with the following set of properties:

  • Instance — a name of a DB instance or an Aurora DB cluster.
  • Policy — a name of the backup policy that processed the DB instance or Aurora DB cluster.
  • Restore Points — a number of restore points created for the DB instance or Aurora DB cluster.

To view the list of restore points, click the link in the Restore Points column. The Available Restore Points window will display information on each restore point, including the following: the date when the restore point was created, the type of the restore point, the storage class of the backup repository where the restore point is stored, and the configured retention policy settings (D — daily, W — weekly, M — monthly or Y — yearly).

Note

Veeam Backup for AWS displays all existing snapshots of RDS resources, not only snapshots created by the Veeam backup service. Amazon DB snapshots created for DB instances or Aurora DB clusters in AWS have the AWS Snapshot type and cannot be deleted from the Veeam Backup for AWS Web UI.

  • Latest Restore Point — the date and time of the latest restore point that was created for the DB instance or Aurora DB cluster.
  • Backup Size — the size of all backups created for the DB instance or Aurora DB cluster stored in standard.
  • Archive size — the size of all backups created for the DB instance or Aurora DB cluster stored in archive backup repositories.
  • Engine — a database engine of the DB instance or Aurora DB cluster.
  • Instance Size — a size of the DB instance storage.
  • AWS Account — an AWS account where the DB instance or Aurora DB cluster belongs.
  • Instance ID — an AWS ID of the DB instance or Aurora DB cluster.
  • Region — an AWS Region in which the DB instance or Aurora DB cluster resides.
