AWS Backup

Centralized AWS service for policy-based backup of EC2, EBS, RDS, DynamoDB, EFS, FSx, S3 and more.

Definition

AWS Backup lets you define backup plans with schedules, retention and cross-region or cross-account copy rules, assigned to resources by tags. Backup Vault Lock provides WORM protection, logically air-gapped vaults isolate copies, and AWS Organizations integration enforces backup policies across accounts.

Example

A backup policy at the organization level backs up all resources tagged Backup=gold daily with 35-day retention.

Exam tip

Choose AWS Backup for central, cross-service backup governance; Vault Lock compliance mode protects backups from deletion by ransomware or insiders.
