Performing RDS Database Restore

In case of a disaster, you can restore corrupted databases of Microsoft SQL Server and PostgreSQL DB instances from an image-level backup. Veeam Backup for AWS allows you to restore one or more databases of only one DB instance at a time, to the original location or to a new location.

Important

For Microsoft SQL Server DB instances, Veeam Backup for AWS does not support restoring databases that contain the FILESTREAM file group.

To restore databases of a protected DB instance, do the following:

  1. Launch the Database Restore wizard.
  2. Select databases.
  3. Specify account settings for restore.
  4. Specify data retrieval settings for archived backups.
  5. Configure target instance settings.
  6. Specify a restore reason.
  7. Finish working with the wizard.
