I have a scenario where there are multiple databases in a single RDS instance. Let's call them A, B & C. Is it possible to take a snapshot of just one database (say A or B) & not the entire RDS instance? How can we recover just a single database from the snapshot of that particular database? From what I have read & understood, RDS supports Automated Backups & Database Snapshots , both of which take a snapshot of the entire RDS instance rather than at the more granular (DB) level.
