Step 6. Configure Instance Settings
[This step applies only if you have selected the Restore to a new location, or with different settings option at the Restore Mode step of the wizard]
At the Settings step of the wizard, specify:
- An instance identifier (name) for the restored RDS instance.
- An option group and a parameter group that must be applied to the restored RDS instance.
Tip |
The Instance specification and Advances options sections of the Settings step contain preconfigured settings retrieved from the source instance. If you want to specify advanced configuration settings for the restored RDS instance, click Edit in the necessary section. For more information on all available settings that can be specified for an RDS instance, see AWS Documentation. |
Specifying Instance Identifier
To specify an identifier for the restored RDS instance:
- In the Settings section, click Edit Instance Settings.
- In the Instance settings window, enter the identifier in the Instance Identifier field. Consider the following limitations:
- The instance identifier must be unique for each AWS Region within one AWS Account.
- The instance identifier can contain only lowercase Latin letters or hyphens, but cannot contain two consecutive hyphens. You cannot use a hyphen as the last character of the identifier.
- The maximum length of the instance identifier is 63 characters.
For more information on limitations for RDS instance identifiers, see AWS Documentation.
- Click Apply.
Specifying Parameter Group and Option Group
To specify a parameter group and an option group:
- In the Instance options section, click Edit Instance Options.
- In the Instance options window, do the following:
- From the Parameter group drop-down list, select the parameter group with database engine configuration values that will be applied to the restored RDS instance.
- From the Option group drop-down list, select the option group with database configuration values and security settings that will be applied to the restored RDS instance.
Note |
If you select Use default group, Veeam Backup for AWS will associate the restored RDS instance with the default parameter group and the default option group automatically created by AWS. |
For a parameter group and an option group to be displayed in the lists, the groups must be created in the Amazon RDS console. To learn how to create parameter and option groups, see AWS Documentation.
