Amazon Web Services has recently launched the new AWS Backup<\/a> service. AWS Backup is a<\/span>\u00a0centralized backup service which allows you to back up your application data in AWS Cloud and on-premises, in an easier and cost-effective manner. AWS Backup is a fully managed backup solution based on the policies. It simplifies and automates the process of backup management and enables you to fulfill your regulatory and business backup compliance requirements.<\/span><\/p>\n

With AWS Backup, the customer will be able to configure the policies for data backup and track the backup process for the AWS resources such as Amazon RDS databases, Amazon EFS file systems, AWS Storage Gateway Volumes, Amazon DynamoDB tables, and Amazon EBS volumes. AWS Backup makes you protect your AWS resources in just a few clicks in the AWS Backup console. <\/span><\/p>\n

When a customer builds an application in the AWS cloud, the application data can be distributed across various AWS services such as block storage, database services, file systems, and object storage. Though these AWS services have in-built backup capabilities, customers create scripts to implement retention policies, automate backup scheduling, and consolidate backup activity across AWS services.<\/span><\/p>\n

AWS Backup eliminates the requirement of expensive, manual processes or custom solutions by providing a policy-based, centralized and fully managed backup solution that offers the backup retention management and automated backup scheduling.<\/span><\/p>\n
