What is AWS Backup?

AWS Backup is an all-encompassing managed service that aims to ease and automate the data backup process for a variety of AWS services. Users can establish centralized backup policies while monitoring backup activities for resources like Amazon EBS volumes, Amazon EC2 instances, Amazon RDS databases, Amazon DynamoDB tables, Amazon EFS file systems, and AWS Storage Gateway volumes. By automating backup tasks that traditionally required individual handling for each service, AWS Backup removes the need for custom scripts and manual processes. With just a few clicks in the AWS Backup console, users can create backup policies that not only schedule automatic backups but also efficiently manage data retention. This fully managed and policy-driven solution not only simplifies backup management but also assists organizations in meeting their operational and regulatory compliance requirements. Moreover, the service significantly improves data protection by guaranteeing that backups are conducted consistently and reliably across the complete AWS ecosystem, ultimately providing peace of mind for businesses focused on data integrity.

    A better backup solution

    Date: Dec 23 2020
    Summary

    AWS Backup is a better solution for data backups because it resolves data integrity and disaster recovery issues as a centralized tool. Also, this solution is considered better because of the main AWS infrastructure. If your data on other systems are not covered by AWS then this software is of no use.

    Positive

    AWS Backup provides features for data backup and disaster recovery. Back up plans are centralized per account. Very compatible and easy to use.

    Negative

    The interface could be made better to use the application and also the pricing is a bit of concern
