+# 51. SQL backups to S3
+
+Date: 2021-01-22
+
+## Status
+
+Accepted
+
+## Context
+
+We need to take SQL dumps as backups, so that in case of disaster, we can import an SQL backup.
+We currently take RDS snapshots, but these can only be restored to an RDS - which can lengthen the time it takes to restore a database
+
+## Decision
+
+We will create a scheduled task for each RDS launched, that will take an SQL dump of each database created on it.
+These will be stored in S3, with Standard-IA (infequent access) to reduce cost of storing the backups.
+The backups will be deleted after 90 days.
+
+## Consequences
+
+If AWS does completely go down, these will be unavailable, so offsite backups should be kept aswell.
