What is AWS Backup?

AWS Backup is a fully managed backup service that centralizes and automates data protection across AWS services. It provides a unified backup console to configure and audit backup activity, define backup policies, and monitor backup and restore jobs. Backup supports EC2, EBS, RDS, DynamoDB, EFS, FSx, and more. It enables you to set backup schedules, retention policies, and lifecycle transitions. Backup provides cross-region and cross-account backup capabilities, ensuring business continuity and regulatory compliance. It integrates with AWS Organizations for centralized backup management across multiple accounts.
