Restore RDS DB Snapshots
Updated over a week ago

RDS database snapshots on Druva CloudRanger are restored as an instance. Restoring an RDS snapshot launches a database instance from the selected snapshot. You can also specify the VPCs, subnets, and security groups.

  1. Log into your Druva CloudRanger console and navigate to Resources > RDS.​
