Restore DynamoDB Tables
Updated over a week ago

​Amazon DynamoDB backups are restored as DynamoDB tables. Druva CloudRanger supports cross-region restore as well as restores within the same AWS Region. You will need to specify the KMS encryption keys to restore encrypted source tables.

To restore a DynamoDB table:

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