Services or capabilities described in Amazon Web Services documentation might vary by Region. To see the differences applicable to the China Regions, see Getting Started with Amazon Web Services in China (PDF).

Disabling backtracking for an Aurora MySQL DB cluster

You can disable the Backtrack feature for a DB cluster.

You can disable backtracking for a DB cluster using the console. After you turn off backtracking entirely for a cluster, you can't enable it again for that cluster.

To disable the Backtrack feature for a DB cluster using the console
  1. Sign in to the Amazon Web Services Management Console and open the Amazon RDS console at https://console.amazonaws.cn/rds/.

  2. Choose Databases.

  3. Choose the cluster you want to modify, and choose Modify.

  4. In the Backtrack section, choose Disable Backtrack.

  5. Choose Continue.

  6. For Scheduling of Modifications, choose one of the following:

    • Apply during the next scheduled maintenance window – Wait to apply the modification until the next maintenance window.

    • Apply immediately – Apply the modification as soon as possible.

  7. Choose Modify Cluster.

You can disable the Backtrack feature for a DB cluster using the Amazon CLI by setting the target backtrack window to 0 (zero). After you turn off backtracking entirely for a cluster, you can't enable it again for that cluster.

To modify the target backtrack window for a DB cluster using the Amazon CLI
  • Call the modify-db-cluster Amazon CLI command and supply the following values:

    • --db-cluster-identifier – The name of the DB cluster.

    • --backtrack-window – specify 0 to turn off backtracking.

    The following example disables the Backtrack feature for the sample-cluster by setting --backtrack-window to 0.

    For Linux, macOS, or Unix:

    aws rds modify-db-cluster \ --db-cluster-identifier sample-cluster \ --backtrack-window 0

    For Windows:

    aws rds modify-db-cluster ^ --db-cluster-identifier sample-cluster ^ --backtrack-window 0

To disable the Backtrack feature for a DB cluster using the Amazon RDS API, use the ModifyDBCluster operation. Set the BacktrackWindow value to 0 (zero), and specify the DB cluster in the DBClusterIdentifier value. After you turn off backtracking entirely for a cluster, you can't enable it again for that cluster.
