You can use Commvault software to protect Amazon RDS instances across multiple accounts and regions.
You can configure AWS native snapshots to protect Amazon RDS instances. Commvault integrates with Amazon RDS native snapshots to back up Amazon RDS instances.
Note
Backup copy for Amazon RDS protection using AWS native snapshots is not supported. However, you can configure backup copies to be made if you use export-based backups.
Backups
Backups You Can Perform
- Full backups
Commvault initiates AWS manual snapshots through backup agent access nodes, which are always incremental from AWS. However, Commvault marks them as full snapshots because each one is self-contained and fully restorable, even if all previous snapshots are deleted.
When You Can Perform Backups
-
On a schedule: The server plan that you assign manages scheduled backups
-
On demand: You can perform on-demand backups at any time
Data You Can Back Up
RDS Instances
Restores
Backups You Can Use for Restores
-
The most recent backup: For example, restore the most recent backup to its original location
-
A backup from a specific date: For example, restore data to a point in time before it became unusable
-
Backups from a date range: For example, restore data that was accidentally deleted
Destinations You Can Restore To
-
In-place: Restore data to the same account that it was backed up from.
-
Out-of-place:
-
Cross-account restore: You can restore RDS Instances from one AWS account to another AWS account.
-
Cross-region restore: You can restore RDS Instances from one AWS region to another region.
