RDS Database Backup
Connect to the database in a client app such as DataGrip or dbForge Studio or MySQLWorkbench.
The address for the host can be found in the AWS RDS console.
In DataGrip:
- Right click on the database.
- SQL Scripts > SQL Generator
- This will display SQL that defines the objects and data in the database.
- There are 3 icons on the right side of the SQL Generator pane. Click the disk icon to save the SQL to a file on disk.
In MySQLWorkbench: App main menu > Server > Data Export
