Amazon RDS Using Snapshot-Based Backups

You can use Commvault software to protect Amazon RDS instances across multiple accounts and regions. You can configure AWS native snapshots to protect Amazon RDS instances. Commvault integrates with Amazon RDS native snapshots to back up Amazon RDS instances.

You can use the following database engines with the Commvault solution:

  • Aurora MySQL

  • Aurora PostgreSQL

  • MariaDB

  • MySQL

  • Oracle

  • PostgreSQL

  • SQL Server

Aurora MySQL and Aurora PostgreSQL support includes protection for Amazon Aurora Serverless v1 configurations. You can only configure an Amazon Aurora Serverless instance from the Command Center.

Note

Backup copy for Amazon RDS protection using AWS native snapshots is not supported. However, you can configure backup copies to be made if you use export-based backups
