Fileset Configuration

Once the plugin is successfully authorized, it is possible to define regular Filesets for backup jobs in Bacula, where we need to include a line similar to the one below, in order to invoke the Amazon RDS Plugin:

Fileset RDS

Fileset {
   Name = FS_RDS
   Include {
      Options {
        signature = MD5
        ...
      }
      Plugin = "amazon-rds: <amazon-rds-parameter-1>=<amazon-rds-value-1> <amazon-rds-parameter-2>=<amazon-rds-value-2> ..."
   }
}

It is strongly recommended to use only one Plugin line within each Fileset. The plugin offers the needed flexibility to combine various module backups within the same plugin line. In instances where multiple rds servers exist, it is essential to employ distinct Filesets and separate jobs.

In this plugin, any parameter allowing a list of values can be assigned with a list of values separated by “,”.

Below, in the subsections, there are lists that present all the parameters you can use to control Amazon RDS Plugin behavior.
