NetBackup™ Web UI Cloud Administrator's Guide

For Amazon Redshift databases

  • Redshift database restores to alternate regions or alternate accounts are not supported.

  • External databases created through Glue Registration are not supported for backup and recovery, even though they may appear in the PaaS assets list.

  • FIPS is currently not supported for Redshift databases.

  • Only user databases are protected. System databases are not displayed or protected.

  • Restore from imported images from a different primary server is supported only using the NetBackup REST API.

  • Only Redshift clusters are supported. Serverless Redshift is not supported.

  • Redshift cluster must be in available state before starting a database backup.

  • Table names with double quotes and case-sensitive names are not restored.

  • File count during the restore may show one file less than the total number of backed-up files.

  • It is not recommended to take backups of databases with empty tables.

  • NetBackup provides crash-consistent Redshift data protection. Consider the type of activity and application requirements before taking backups to determine if an application needs to checkpoint or quiesce for backup operations.
