With RDS instances in AWS, it’s the same behavior: destroying a database instance removes all of the automated backups that were made. Make sure to take a final snapshot!


In just the last few months they've made it possible to preserve these snapshots after destroying the database: https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2018/11/amazon-rd...


And there is also delete protection by default for new prod databases: https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2018/09/amazon-rd...


TIL! Thank you!
