Amazon RDS for SQL Server supports integration of transaction log backup with DMS
News
The article discusses the integration of transaction log backup with Amazon Database Migration Service (DMS) for Amazon RDS for SQL Server. This new feature improves data replication reliability by allowing DMS to access backup logs in case of connection interruptions or transaction volume spikes, preventing replication failures that would previously require a full data reload.
Specifically, the article covers:
- Amazon RDS for SQL Server now integrates transaction log backups with Database Migration Service (DMS)
- This provides greater reliability for data replication from RDS for SQL Server source databases
- If connection interruptions or transaction volume spikes cause active logs to be archived before DMS can finish processing, DMS can now access backup logs to recover and resume replication
- This prevents replication failures that would previously require a full data reload
- The integration is now generally available in all AWS regions where RDS for SQL Server is supported
- Documentation is provided for setting up ongoing DMS replication on an RDS for SQL Server DB instance
