Backup and restore for AWS RDS SQL Server

Backup and restore for AWS RDS SQL Server

In this video, we talk about backup and restore for AWS RDS SQL Server. One of the great benefits of Platform as a Service (PaaS) is that your cloud hosting company will handle the backups for you. And they’re really good at it. In this case, AWS will allow you to restore to any point in time within the last 35 days, and all with no administration effort on your part.

This video dives a bit deeper into the non default options such as backing up and restoring using native backups and how you can keep those backups way beyond the 35 days.
