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 database Overview page appears.

  2. Go to the Instances tab.

    The instance Overview properties page appears.

  3. Go to database groups tab.

  4. In the row for the database group instance, click the action button, and then click Backup. Alternatively, click the database group instance you want to back up, and then click Backup.

    The Backup options dialog box appears.

  5. Under Backup level, select Full.

  6. 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 DumpBasedBackupSet 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.
