To manage a database, you can either use an existing instance or add a new instance.
Important
Do not configure more than one Oracle RDS instance for the same database, since running parallel backup jobs can cause control file autobackups to be written into the other job's directory. This could cause a failure to restore the control file during a restore operation.
Before You Begin
-
Configure the permissions to access AWS resources. Download the amazon_rds_dumpbased_backup_restore_permissions.json file and use it on the AWS command line to apply all the permissions.
-
Configure an S3 bucket to store the backups. For more information about integrating S3 buckets with RDS, see S3 integration on the Amazon Web Services documentation site.
