Backing Up a Database Group for Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL

You can perform a full backup operation of a RDS for PostgreSQL database group.

Procedure

  1. From the navigation pane, go to Protect > Databases.

    The Instances page appears.

  2. Click the instance.

    The instance page appears.

  3. In the Database groups table, click the database group that you want to back up.

    The database group page appears.

  4. Click Backup.

    The Select backup level dialog box appears.

  5. Under Backup level, select Full.

  6. Click OK.

Note

  • If the database part of a database group (other than default) is renamed or removed, the backup content for the database group needs to be updated manually. The old database will not be removed automatically.

  • By default, backup operations using DumpBased backup set do not include information about roles. This is because the pg_dump utility that is used to perform the DumpBased backup operation does not back up roles information. To save this information using the pg_dumpall utility, see Enabling Backups for Global Objects in Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL Databases.
