How to Resolve Manually

To resolve manually, you will need to enable backups on your RDS DB Instance, and then set a backup retention period.


This can be found within the Additional Configuration section of the RDS Instance.


The backup retention period determines the period for which you can perform a point-in-time recovery

Important to consider:

Aurora offers 1-day backup retention for free!
