title: Where are stored (geographically) AWS RDS Backup
body: <p>I use AWS and have automatic backup enabled.</p>
  
  <p>For one of our client, we need to know exactly where the backup data is stored.</p>
  
  <p>From the <a href="https://aws.amazon.com/rds/faqs/" rel="noreferrer">AWS FAQ</a> website, I can see that: </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Q: Where are my automated backups and DB Snapshots stored and how do I manage their retention?</p>
    
    <p>Amazon RDS DB snapshots and automated backups are stored in S3.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>My understanding is that you can have a S3 instance located anywhere you want, so it's not clear to me where this data is.</p>
  
  <p>Just to be clear, I'm interested by the physical location (is it Europe, US....)</p>
