What is the "Automated backups" tab in AWS RDS console on Aurora engines?
I'm using Aurora as my engine. I got a response from AWS support that explains why this tab is empty for Aurora DBs:
Aurora Cluster stores its data in a cluster volume and you cannot disable automated backups on Aurora cluster. During backup, RDS Aurora backs up your cluster volume automatically and retains restore data for the length of the backup retention period. Aurora backups are continuous and incremental therefore you can quickly restore to any point within the backup retention period. Aurora does not need the binary logs to replicate data within a DB cluster or to perform point in time restore (PITR) [1].
...in RDS Aurora we take the cluster volume snapshot and it's a continuous operation and we take incremental changes as well continuously, so this will not be visible in the Automated backups tab in the AWS console, but will be present in the Snapshots Tab.
