Amazon S3 bucket folder and file structure - Amazon Relational Database Service

Transaction log backups have the following standard structure and naming convention within an Amazon S3 bucket:

  • A new folder is created under the target_s3_arn path for each database with the naming structure as {db_id}.{family_guid}.

  • Within the folder, transaction log backups have a filename structure as {db_id}.{family_guid}.{rds_backup_seq_id}.{backup_file_epoch}.

  • You can view the details of family_guid,db_id,rds_backup_seq_id and backup_file_epoch with the rds_fn_list_tlog_backup_metadatafunction.

The following example shows the folder and file structure of a set of transaction log backups within an Amazon S3 bucket.
