How can I copy the backup files created by AWS Backup to an on-premise server?
Thanks for any help.
You will need to restore AWS resource from vault first, it will generate an AMI or EBS or any other kind of resource you did backup.
With this resource restored you will need to create an instance from it or using it to get the files you are looking for.
On the link below you can read more about how to restore from AWS Backup.

I am trying to extract an AWS AMI onto my local to have it as a disaster backup. I know we can save it into S3 and restore it, however my goal is to take it out of AWS and save it elsewhere.
Your thoughts are much appreciated!
Thank you :)
As Mark said above, In order to export the AMI to your local, you need to first transfer the AMI to an S3 bucket and then can download it using AWS Cli.
Complete steps/pre-requisite/considerations are available on the below link:
Export AWS AMI
You would export it to S3 first. Then you can very easily download the file from S3.

How to copy a redshift cluster snapshot from one account to another account through script.
To manually migrate an Amazon Redshift cluster to another AWS account, follow these steps:
Create a manual snapshot of the cluster you want to migrate.
Share the cluster snapshot with another AWS account to view and
restore the snapshot.
Before you copy a snapshot to another region, first enable
cross-region snapshots.
In the destination AWS account, restore the shared cluster snapshot.
Please see
https://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/knowledge-center/account-transfer-redshift/
If you want to do that in a "script" for some reason - then you need to read https://docs.aws.amazon.com/redshift/latest/mgmt/manage-snapshots-api-cli.html
I believe everything you need can be done using aws cli.
I need to import my MySQL db of size around 25 GB to aws rds.How can i do this.
I tried using phpmyadmin of RDS. But my browser hang on.Also my AWS don't have public IP.
I have found the quickest and easiest way is to make a backup, copy it to s3, and then tell RDS to import it from there:
Amazon RDS supports importing MySQL databases by using backup files.
You can create a backup of your on-premises database, store it on
Amazon S3, and then restore the backup file onto a new Amazon RDS DB
instance running MySQL.
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/MySQL.Procedural.Importing.html
Yes, DB size is only 25GB so you can go with mysqldump utility and uploaded the data into S3 but I suggest to go with Mydumper to take the backup because backup time can be reduced by using parallelization feature of it and restore from S3. another way is you can create a new ec2 instance in same region and account and upload backup there and restore it via MySQL or my loader(a tool used to restore mydumperbackup).
I can see from the AWS console that my RDS instance is being backed up once a day. From the FAQ I understand that it is being backup on S3. But when I use the console to view my S3 buckets, I don't see the RDS backup.
So:
How do I get my hands on my RDS backup?
Once I have it how do I use it to restore my DB i.e is it a regular mysqldump file or something else?
OK - I see it under the DB snapshots, Automated Snapshots (Had it selected to Manual Snapshots and hence could not see it)
RDS snapshot as well as EBS snapsots are stored in S3, but not accesible via the S3 interface.
You can restore a whole database be clicking "Restore Snapshot" from the AWS Management Console.
If you'd like to have .sql backups manually, you can also use the script I've been developing:
https://github.com/Ardakilic/backmeup
This script backups your SQL databases along with your webhost root to your S3 or Dropbox. So this means, you can dump any SQL from any host (RDS or any other provider) and upload them to S3. It uses aws-cli as backend.
I had the same issue, what I did is I wrote a simple bash script to do this for me, but I works fine in a single region, it doesnt work with multiple regions, here is the script http://geekospace.com/back-up-and-restore-the-database-between-two-aws-ec2-instances/
