AWS resource reference
RdsBackupConfig
Editable inline backup policy inside the RDS inspector. Settings describe desired backup behaviour, not backups already created in AWS.
In Atlas
Editable inline backup policy inside the RDS inspector. Settings describe desired backup behaviour, not backups already created in AWS.
Use editor controls for selection, inspector drafts and action menus. Creating or editing this design data does not create an AWS resource.
Fields and editing
| Field / label | Meaning and behaviour | Defaults and constraints |
|---|---|---|
| Retention Days | Editable integer backup retention. | 7; range 0–35. Zero represents no automated retention in the design. |
| Preferred Backup Window | Editable optional window text. | Null; the model does not enforce a format here. Use AWS’s UTC window requirements as a service reference, not proof of Atlas validation. |
| Delete Automated Backups | Editable boolean describing deletion preference. | True. |
| Skip Final Snapshot | Editable boolean describing final-snapshot preference. | True; consider the AWS data-retention consequence when designing. Atlas itself does not delete an AWS database. |
AWS reference
Official AWS service guide explains the service. AWS property reference is a comparison reference. Atlas is an offline design model; its fields are not a promise of direct AWS API/CloudFormation equivalence or regional availability.
