You can now manage the data protection and recovery for all of your RDS databases, across multiple accounts and regions, from one place! You can now create scheduled or ad-hoc snapshots of your Amazon RDS databases using the same schedule and retention policies that you use for Kubernetes. You can also automatically copy snapshots to other AWS regions for an extra layer of protection. Restore of RDS databases can be done from snapshots or copies created by CloudCasa, from RDS automatic backups, or even from manual snapshots created through AWS. All Amazon RDS databases are supported, including Aurora. See the Amazon RDS Getting Started Guide and the Amazon RDS Restore Guide under the CloudCasa Getting Started page for more details.

During restore, you will have the option of either restoring from a specific recovery point or to an arbitrary point in time. When restoring from a recovery point, you can select between restoring from an AWS automated snapshot (called AWS Auto in CloudCasa), a CloudCasa backup, or any manual snapshot that you’ve created previously on AWS (called AWS Manual). When restoring to an arbitrary point in time, you can specify any time between the last time the database transaction log was automatically backed up by AWS (approximately every 5 minutes) and the time of your earliest unexpired AWS automatic backup. So if the retention for AWS automated backups is 7 days, the allowed time range for a point-in-time restore for the database will be from less than 5 minutes ago to approximately 7 days ago.
