What is AWS Backup Service? AWS Backup Service is
a fully managed backup solution by Amazon Web
Services that automates and centralizes the
backup of data across various AWS services,
including Amazon EC2, Amazon EBS, Amazon RDS,
DynamoDB, and more. It allows businesses to
define backup policies, set retention rules,
monitor activity, and recover quickly all from
one unified interface. Unlike manual backup
tasks, AWS Backup Service simplifies the entire
process, reducing operational burden while
improving recovery times.
