Disabling Automated Backups

You may want to temporarily disable automated backups in certain situations; for example, while loading large amounts of data.

Important
We highly discourage disabling automated backups because it disables point-in-time recovery. Disabling automatic backups for a DB instance deletes all existing automated backups for the instance. If you disable and then re-enable automated backups, you are only able to restore starting from the time you re-enabled automated backups.
