Copy one or more databases from an ApsaraDB RDS for SQL Server 2008 R2 instance to another RDS instance using the console.
This console-based replication method applies only to RDS instances that run SQL Server 2008 R2 and use cloud disks. To replicate databases on an instance running SQL Server 2012 or later, see Replicate a database of an ApsaraDB RDS instance that runs SQL Server 2012 or later.
Prerequisites
Before you begin, make sure that:
The source instance runs SQL Server 2008 R2 and uses cloud disks
The destination instance has the same database engine version, region, and network type as the source instance (zones can differ)
If you plan to replicate more than one database or all databases, the destination instance has enough available storage to hold all databases you plan to replicate — see Change instance specifications to expand storage
None of the databases you plan to replicate share a name with an existing database on the destination instance — databases with conflicting names are skipped
