Restoring Backup Files to a Self-built SQL Server Database Using SQL Statements

You can download backup files by referring to Downloading a Backup File and restore data from them. You can use SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) to restore data to a self-built database on an ECS or an on-premises database. This section describes how to use SQL statements to restore data from backup files to an on-premises database.

Before restoring data, ensure that the ECS has been installed with an SQL Server database of the same version as or later than your RDS for SQL Server instance.
You can download an unsynchronized backup as required and use the unsynchronized backup and the most recent backup to restore data. To obtain the most recent backup, contact customer service.

Restore data to your on-premises database.
