The update allows customers to manually trigger one-time backups, automate recurring backups with customizable frequency and retention, and restore from backups either to new or existing resources. The backup capability supports both InfluxDB 2 and 3 engines via console, CLI, and API interfaces. Initial backups capture full database copies, while subsequent backups are incremental, minimizing performance impact.
This user-driven backup and restore feature supports flexible data protection strategies, such as before system migrations or risky configuration changes. It is available across AWS regions where Timestream for InfluxDB operates, empowering administrators with more control over managed time series data safeguarding and recovery.
