Automated Backups
When you create a DB instance, the automated backup policy is enabled by default. After the instance is created, you can configure the following information:
- Set the backup retention period from 0 days to 35 days. The primary and standby Microsoft SQL Server DB instances can be retained from 1 day to 35 days.
- Select a time window.
- Set the backup cycle.
- By default, Microsoft SQL Server is backed up each day of the week and cannot be modified.
- Select at least two days of the week for MySQL.
- Select at least two days of the week for PostgreSQL.
RDS will automatically create full backups for DB instances based on your settings.
