Amazon RDS Protection Using Native Database Export or Dump Utility

You can use the Commvault software to perform logical dumps of Amazon RDS databases so that you can move the data to storage in the cloud or on-premises to meet your compliance and storage objectives.

The Commvault software uses the native database dump based backup utilities to export the data from the Amazon RDS database and import it to any of the following destinations:

  • The same Amazon RDS instance that you backed up

  • A new Amazon RDS instance

  • An on-premises database instance

Key Features

  • Back up the data to a disk in the cloud or on-premises

  • End users can restore the data to the same instance, or to another database instance in the cloud or on premises for application needs

  • Table-level restore operations from the backup

The solution works with the following databases:
