Unable to export aurora mysql serverless snapshot to S3

Question

Hi there  
I have been unable to export a RDS Aurora Serverless snapshot to S3.  I get the following error:  
"_The specified db snapshot engine mode isn't supported and can't be exported_"  
  
Here is some detail about the source snapshot (DBClusterSnapshot):  
Engine: 'aurora',  
EngineVersion: '5.6.10a',  
EngineMode: 'serverless'  
KmsKey: (customer managed key),  
SnapshotType: 'manual',  
(The original DBCluster is encrypted with the same customer-managed key)  
  
The error message suggests that 'serverless' is not an acceptable engine mode, but I have not been able to find any AWS documentation listing the allowable engine modes.  
  
My questions:  
1. Is it true that serverless i not an acceptable engine mode for this operation?  
2. If so, what is the best way to achieve my goal, given that my engine mode is serverless?

Answer

Hello,  
  
thank you for sending this message.  
  
\[1]I see that you are using a serverless engine mode, looking through the limitations of Aurora serverless in the AWS documentation I can see that exporting serverless snapshots to S3 are currently not supported.   
  
\[2]So I would suggest that you restore a snapshot of your Serverless cluster to a supported version and export it to S3.  
  
You can refer to this for any further investigation: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/AuroraUserGuide/USER_ExportSnapshot.html
