  • Amazon RDS (all DBs engines) / Amazon Aurora / Amazon DynamoDB
  • Amazon DocumentDB / Amazon Neptune
  • Amazon EFS / Amazon FSx (Lustre & Windows File Server)
  • AWS Storage Gateway (Volume Gateway)

• You create backup policies known as Backup Plans

  • Backup frequency (every 12 hours, daily, weekly, monthly, cron expression)
  • Backup window
  • Transition to Cold Storage (Never, Days, Weeks, Months, Years)
  • Retention Period (Always, Days, Weeks, Months, Years)

• Sample:

  • You are running many resources in AWS such as EC2 instances, EBS volumes, DynamoDB tables… You want an easy way to manage backups across all these AWS services from a single place. Which AWS offering makes this process easy?

    • AWS Backup enables you to centralize and automate data protection across AWS services. It helps you support your regulatory compliance or business policies for data protection.

  • Which AWS service can you use to automate the backup across different AWS services such as RDS, DynamoDB, Aurora, and EFS file systems, and EBS volumes?

Vault Lock

• Enforce a WORM (Write Once Read Many) state for all the backups that you store in your AWS Backup Vault

• Additional layer of defense to protect your backups against:

  • Inadvertent or malicious delete operations
  • Updates that shorten or alter retention periods

• Even the root user cannot delete backups when enabled
