The instance Overview properties page appears.
-
Go to database groups tab.
-
In the row for the database group instance, click the action button 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.

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 thepg_dumpall
utility, see Enabling Backups for Global Objects in Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL Databases.
