Amazon RDS for Db2 launches support for native database backups

Amazon RDS for Db2

Amazon RDS for Db2 now enables customers to perform native database-level backups, offering greater flexibility in database management and migration.

With this feature, customers can selectively back up individual databases within a multi-database RDS for Db2 instance, enabling efficient migration of specific databases to another instance or on-premises environment. Using a simple backup command, customers can easily create database copies for development and testing environments, while also meeting their compliance requirements through separate backup copies. By backing up specific databases instead of full instance snapshots, customers can reduce their storage costs.

This feature is now available in all AWS Regions where Amazon RDS for Db2 is offered.

What to do

• Visit the Amazon RDS for Db2 documentation for detailed information on configuring and using native database backups.
• Check the Amazon RDS pricing page for pricing details.
