Amazon Timestream for InfluxDB now supports backup and restore
Amazon Timestream for InfluxDB now lets you create and manage your own backups and restore your data on demand. You can trigger one-time, on-demand backups, schedule automated recurring backups at the frequency and retention you choose, and restore a backup to a new resource or in place of an existing one. This capability is available for both the InfluxDB 2 and InfluxDB 3 engines through the Amazon Timestream console, the Amazon Command Line Interface (CLI), and the Timestream for InfluxDB API.
With this capability, you control your own data protection strategy. You can take an on-demand backup before a risky migration or configuration change, and define up to four automated backup configurations per resource — hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, or a custom schedule — each with its own retention period to build tiered protection. The first backup captures a full copy of your database and subsequent backups are incremental, so ongoing backups have minimal impact on performance. When you restore, you can create a new resource that inherits the source configuration or replace an existing one, and backups of resources encrypted with a customer managed key are encrypted with the same Amazon Key Management Service (KMS) key.
Customer-driven backup and restore is available in the Amazon Web Services China (Beijing) Region, operated by Sinnet, and the Amazon Web Services China (Ningxia) Region, operated by NWCD. To get started, open the Amazon Timestream console. For more information, see the Amazon Timestream for InfluxDB documentation and pricing page.
