Enable Backup Retention

with Amazon RDS · IT Infrastructure Management

Set a DB instance backup retention period and wait for it to apply.

  1. Describe the DB instance to confirm it is available before changing the backup retention period.
  2. Submit the modify request setting the backup retention period with the change applied immediately.
  3. Describe the DB instance and inspect its status. While the instance is still modifying or backing-up the workflow loops back to poll again; once it is available the flow ends.
What you'll need to have ready
  • dbInstanceIdentifier: The identifier of the DB instance to configure backups for.
  • backupRetentionPeriod: The number of days to retain automated backups (0-35).
