# Backing Up a Database Group for Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL

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

## Procedure

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

   The Overview page appears.

2. On the Instances tab, click the instance.

   The instance page appears.

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

   The database group page appears.

4. Click Backup.

   The Backup options dialog box appears.

5. Under Backup level, select Full.

6. Optional: To receive an email after the full backup, click When the job completes, notify me via email.

7. Click SUBMIT.

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 Aurora PostgreSQL Databases.
