Why we can't restore individual databases from RDS SQL Server backups

0

Hi Team,

We know that we can restore entire RDS SQL Server from backups. Can we restore particular database from RDS SQL Server backups. I hope this backups are snapshot backups so we can't restore the individual databases. Can you please let us know if we can restore databases not RDS.

RDS restore will restore the entire instance, not the individual SQL Server databases. To do this you can use the native SQL Server backup technique.
