Amazon RDS for Oracle now supports cross-account snapshot sharing with additional storage volumes

Amazon RDS for Oracle

Now supports cross-account snapshot sharing for database instances with additional storage volumes. Customers can scale database storage up to 256 TiB by adding up to three storage volumes, each with up to 64 TiB, in addition to the primary storage volume. This feature enables creating, sharing, and copying database snapshots across AWS accounts for database instances set up with additional storage volumes.

What to do

• Create, share, and copy database snapshots across AWS accounts.
• Set up isolated backup environments in separate accounts for compliance and diagnostics.
• Restore snapshots to another database instance or copy within the same or different AWS Region.

Cross-account snapshot sharing with additional storage volumes is available in all AWS commercial Regions. Customers can start using this feature today through the AWS Management Console, AWS CLI, or AWS SDKs.
