Hi <@U05KQQS2Y1H>! I don’t have any direct experience with doing automatic backups for RDS, but it looks like the `backupRetentionPeriod` and `backupWindow` properties of the <https://www.pulumi.com/registry/packages/aws/api-docs/rds/instance/|AWS RDS instance resource> are what you’d be most interested in.

Given that you don’t have direct experience with this (nor do I), I might suggest creating a new stack in a new branch and testing these properties on non-production infrastructure first.

Thanks Scott already dis some testing with those configuration keys but my staging environment couldn't deploy the Pulumi stack. Also I want to be able to decide on which environment to deploy these configuration keys (only on prod) but also struggled to enable it just for staging.

What sort of problems did you encounter when you tried to enable it just for staging?

Basically what happened was that after deploying I started to get errors on Pulumi that it couldn't downgrade from Postgres 14.7 to 14.2 and I don't know why exactly that happened, which forced me to revert everything and set the Postgres version to 14.7.
