How to backup and restore databases in Amazon Aurora?

Amazon Aurora offers two ways to back up data: automatic snapshots and manual snapshots.

1. Automatic snapshots: Amazon Aurora automatically creates snapshots of the database instances, which are then saved according to the specified retention policy. You can configure the retention policy for automatic snapshots on the Amazon RDS console.
2. Manual Snapshot: You can also manually create a snapshot of your database instance. Simply select your database instance on the Amazon RDS console, and click the “Create Snapshot” button to manually create a snapshot.

To restore the database, you can choose from the following methods:

1. By using automatic snapshots, you can find previously created snapshots on the Amazon RDS console and restore the database to the state of that snapshot.
2. By using manual snapshots: You can find previously created manual snapshots on the Amazon RDS console, and restore the database to the state of that snapshot.

Please note that restoring the database will overwrite the current database state, so please make sure to backup the current database state before proceeding with the operation to prevent data loss.
