Downloading an Incremental Backup File

Scenarios

This section describes how to download a manual or an automated backup file to a local device and restore data from the backup file.

RDS for PostgreSQL enables you to download incremental backup files.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the RDS console.
  2. Click in the upper left corner and select a region.
  3. On the Instances page, click the target instance name to go to the Summary page. Choose Backups & Restorations in the navigation pane on the left. On the Incremental Backups page, locate the backup to be downloaded and click Download in the Operation column.
  4. If you have enabled operation protection, click Send Code in the displayed Identity Verification dialog box and enter the obtained verification code. Then, click OK.

    Two-factor authentication improves the security of your account. For details about how to enable operation protection, see Identity and Access Management User Guide.
