How is the creation and storage of database backups carried out in Amazon RDS?

In Amazon RDS, creating and storing database backups is done using automatic and manual snapshots.

• Automatic backups are enabled when the instance is created and allow restoring the database to any point within the retention period (up to 35 days). They are created automatically and managed by the service.

• Manual snapshots are created by the user upon request and are stored until they are manually deleted.

All backups are stored in Amazon S3, ensuring their reliability and availability.

To set up backups, you can use the AWS Management Console, CLI, or API.
