Really? You're saying RDS backups can't be trusted?

Trusted in what sense, that they'll always work perfectly 100% of the time? No, therefore one must still check them from time to time, and it's really no different when self hosting, again, if you do it correctly.

  • What are some common ways that RDS backups fail to be restored?

    • Why are you asking me this? Are you trying to test whether I've actually used RDS before? I'm sure a quick search will find you the answer to your question.

No backup strategy can be blindly trusted. You must verify it, and also test that restores actually work.
