Migrate large SQL Server databases to Amazon RDS Custom using FSx

Migrating large SQL Server databases to Amazon RDS Custom can be challenging due to storage limits and large backup files. A solution is to use Amazon FSx for Windows File Server for hosting backups, avoiding RDS Custom storage overprovisioning.

Key steps are:
· Backup the on-premises database to an FSx File Gateway share
· Connect the RDS Custom instance to AWS Managed Active Directory
· Restore backups from FSx to the RDS Custom instance

This method enables migration of databases up to 16 TB to RDS Custom without storage overages, cutting costs.

Discover how this strategy facilitates efficient SQL Server database migration to the cloud.
