Amazon Relational Database Service Instance
Cohesity DataProtect as a Service provides a simple, fast, and cost-effective backup, recovery, and data management solution for the Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) instances in your AWS account.
Protection Type Options
Cohesity DataProtect as a Service provides two Protection Type options for the protection of the Amazon RDS:
-
AWS Snapshot: Cohesity DataProtect as a Service uses this option to protect Amazon RDS instances. For protecting the Amazon RDS instances, Cohesity DataProtect as a Service leverages the AWS native snapshot and stores them in the same AWS account and region as the source Amazon RDS instances.
When creating protection for the Amazon RDS instance, by default, AWS Snapshot is selected as the Protection Type and you cannot change this value.
-
Amazon RDS Ingest: Cohesity DataProtect as a Service uses this option to protect the databases on the Amazon RDS instance by ingesting the backup data to an AWS region supported by the Cohesity DataProtect as a Service. The target AWS region is the region that is selected during AWS source registration. Amazon RDS Ingest snapshots provide an air-gapped backup and recovery. With air-gapped backup approach, the backed up data is isolated from any network connectivity, ensuring that your data remains safe. Network connectivity is resumed only during the recovery process, minimizing the risk of ransomware attacks.
When creating protection for databases on the Amazon RDS instance, by default, Amazon RDS Ingest is selected as the Protection Type and you cannot change this value. For information on protecting Amazon RDS database, see Amazon Relational Database Service Instance.
Cohesity performs only full backups of Amazon RDS using the Amazon RDS Ingest method. Incremental backup is not supported in the Amazon RDS Ingest method.
