Archiving dB-backed Websites

Question

I've got a couple of relatively simple websites that I want to terminate and archive for posterity.
I thought they were using PostGres SQL, but amazon says that they're using RDS on EBS.
Snapshots still use RDS and incur charges for doing so, even archived snapshots.
S3 storage is cheap, not RDS.

Absent any better ideas, can I simple download the snapshots, delete them, then upload the snapshots to S3 buckets as files/collections of files, which is all I want.

Answer

Hello,

If your database on **RDS** you can take **snapshot** and **select it** then click on **Actions** then choose **Exports in Amazon S3**.
You will take database snapshot by easy way to s3.

If your database on **EBS** you can **take dump** then **download it** then **upload to s3**.
