Step 6. Specify Parameter and Option Groups

[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 Instance Configuration step of the wizard, you can choose the parameter and option groups with which the restored DB instance will be associated. To do that, select the necessary DB instance from the list and click Edit. In the Group window, do the following:

1. From the Parameter group drop-down list, select the parameter group containing database engine configuration values that will be applied to the restored DB instance.

For a parameter group to be displayed in the list of available groups, the group must be created in AWS as described in AWS Documentation and group settings must be compatible with the database engine and version of the original DB instance.

2. From the Option group drop-down list, select the option group containing database configuration values and security settings that will be applied to the restored DB instance.

For an option group to be displayed in the list of available groups, it must be created in AWS as described in AWS Documentation and group settings must be compatible with the database engine and version of the original DB instance.
