No because the restore is all or nothing. We need to spin up another instance and do an export. This would not be a problem if we had somewhere to put the dump.

Does the automated snapshot capability meet those requirements? https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/USER_PIT.html<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__docs.aws.amazon.com_AmazonRDS_latest_UserGuide_USER-5FPIT.html&d=DwMFaQ&c=j-EkbjBYwkAB4f8ZbVn1Fw&r=yWMFosURAngbt8VLeJtKLVJGefQxustAZ9UxecV7xpc&m=-iE-mUkYfiC_p7D1IoYXgKouPO7n-A7ZFzvzqCUGbz0&s=5HGhUyabF8EjBorS3Z-rSo8oCJj-L_TQj0vim4dn_8I&e=>

Subject: Access/dump datafile (no alter system/database, e.g. AWS RDS)

Hi all,

I wonder if there is a way how to get to the datafiles in say Amazon RDS, as there is no filesystem access. And the users cannot have alter system or alter database grants, so I can't even dump contents of a data block. The backups are file system snapshots, but these don't seem to be accessible, either.

Or am I missing somethings, is there a way how to access an arbitrary datafile block?

Thanks for all ideas!

Vit
