RDS

Clumio unifies in-account automated snapshots and air-gapped backups of your Relational Database Service (RDS) data using a single policy. In this document, RDS resources refer to both RDS instances and Aurora clusters.

For more information about Clumio for RDS, see Getting started with Clumio for RDS.

Clumio offers the following RDS backup tiers to store your RDS backups:

• SecureVault Standard tier
• SecureVault Archive tier
• AWS automated backups

See RDS backups for details.

The Available Resources window (AWS > Inventory > RDS Resources) lists all of the RDS instances and clusters deployed in your AWS account.

The Available Resources table displays the following information:

• Database Name: Represents the name of an RDS instance or Aurora cluster.
• Deployment: The database deployment type, this could be single instance or Aurora cluster.
• Account: The account to which the volume belongs.
• Region: The AWS account region that the account is located in.
• Engine: The Amazon RDS database engine type. Examples of supported RDS engines include PostgreSQL, MySQL, and MariaDB.
• Tags: The AWS tag key and value assigned to the resource (there may be multiple tags). Tags are set through the AWS Management Console.
• Policy: The Clumio policy that is currently protecting the resources. If the database is protected by a policy, you can edit the policy by clicking the edit icon. You can also add a policy to protect the database from this column.
• Backup status: The Backup status of your EC2 assets for all your connected accounts over a period of time. The default period is the last 7 days. The backup performance status of your EC2 assets can one of the following:
  • No backup: There are no backup tasks within the selected period of time.
  • Success: All backup tasks within the selected period of time have succeeded.
  • Partial success: The latest backup task within the selected time period has succeeded. However, there are failed backup tasks in that same period.
  • Failure: The latest backup task within the selected period of time has failed. There may be successful backups in that same period, however the status is based on the latest backup.
• Last Backup—The details about the last successful backup. The last backup column displays the following details:
  • # of hours/days: The length of time since the last successful backup occurred. If the asset was recently assigned to a new policy and is waiting for seeding, the # of hours/days represents the last successful backup taken under the old policy.
  • Dash symbol (-): There are no backups for this asset because a successful backup was never taken.
