RDS supports backups and restorations to ensure data reliability.
Automated backups are created during the backup time window for your DB instances. RDS saves automated backups based on a retention period you specify. If necessary, you can restore a DB instance to any point in time during your backup retention period. For details, see Configuring an Intra-Region Backup Policy.
Manual backups are user-initiated full backups of DB instances. They are retained until you delete them manually. For details, see Creating a Manual Backup.
You can download a full or an incremental backup file for local data backup or restoration. For details, see Downloading a Backup File and Downloading a Binlog Backup File.
