What is the impact on cost when enabling a 35-day backup retention period for a large RDS DB?

Question

Mahesh B · Accepted Answer

A 35-day backup retention period for a large RDS database will likely increase storage costs due to the accumulation of backup data over time. Amazon RDS charges for the storage used by automated backups and snapshots. With a longer backup retention period, you will accumulate more backup storage over time. The total cost will depend on the size of the database and the frequency of changes, as RDS uses incremental backups, meaning only the changes since the last backup are stored.
