AWS Backup: AWS Experience Time To Complete Cost To Complete Services Used

AWS Backup enables centralized and automated data protection across AWS services using policy-based backup plans. Backup plans can be used to define backup requirements like frequency and retention for AWS resources, which are then automatically backed up according to the plan by tagging the resources. Currently, AWS Backup supports backing up Amazon RDS database engines and Amazon Aurora clusters. It provides cost-effective, managed backups of RDS instances while not counting towards RDS snapshot quotas.

Introduction

AWS Backup enables you to centralize and automate data protection across AWS
services. AWS Backup offers a cost-effective, fully managed, policy-based service that
further simplifies data protection at scale. AWS Backup also helps you support your
regulatory compliance obligations and meets your business continuity goals.

With just a few clicks in the AWS Backup console, you can create backup policies that
automate backup schedules and retention management. With AWS Backup, you can
create backup policies called backup plans. You can use these plans to define your
backup requirements, such as how frequently to back up your data and how long to
retain those backups. AWS Backup lets you apply backup plans to your AWS resources
by simply tagging them. AWS Backup then automatically backs up your AWS resources
according to the backup plan that you defined. 

AWS Backup currently supports Amazon Relational Database (RDS) database engines


and Amazon Aurora clusters. When using AWS Backup with Amazon RDS and Amazon
Aurora, you can centralize your compliance and policy control for backups, increase
security choices for your organization, and access instant enterprise level features and
functionality. You pay only for the RDS backup capacity you use, and no other added
costs. You can use AWS Backup to manage backups of Amazon RDS DB instances.
Backups managed by AWS Backup are considered manual DB snapshots, but don't
count toward the DB snapshot quota for Amazon RDS.
