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

[Applies only to Microsoft SQL Server DB instances] Veeam Backup for AWS does not support restoring databases that contain the FILESTREAM file group.
