    There is a cost involved with data retrieval. AWS Backup is truly that, a backup. If you need to access this data on a regular basis, there are better options out there. For long term, just in case incremental backups, AWS [Backup] checks all the boxes. Just set it up, start your backups, and rest assured your data is safe.

    Well suited to databases < 10TB. For larger than this, I would go with snapshots.

    Pros
    Amazon AWS
    • Centralized management - single pane of glass to manage backups for multiple AWS services.
    • Encryption - integrates with KMS to encrypt backup data at rest and in transit.
    • Cross Account management - manage backups across multiple AWS accounts with AWS organizations.

    • Non-blocking backup : Backup process will not put any lock on the database.
    • Fast recovery : As it's a file level backup so it's quite fast in both backup and recovery.
    • Consistent backup : Xtrabackup always ensures consistent backup.
    • Easy to configure and Use.
    • Integration with clouds

    Cons
    Amazon AWS
    • Restoring the compute nodes of the cluster should be done always
    • Having the default Roles all the necessary permission, you have to add some depending on your configurations
    • Being able to see the Jobs status in a centralize account more graphically

    Percona
    • The only feature that could use some improvement is partial backup restores. For example, I have a multi-tenant database at the schema level running on a single Percona Server instance. As a tenant grows too large for the share instance or becomes a noisy neighbour we need to move a the tenants schema to its own instance with minimal downtime, meaning that we would run the new instance as a replica with replication filters until failover. In terms of doing a consistent backup, there may be challenges and it is currently possible with XtraBackup, but it would be great if the process was simplified and ensured to be consistent.

    Overall because I can sell it white labeled and use my white labeled software like CloudBerry and the native backup apps on my synology NAS servers to store things in real time and do duplication and disaster recovery directly to it was game changing for my client in the advertising world they are never down now.

    Support for AWS Backup is by Amazon itself so it is solid as always. If you have a business or higher level support plan you'll have no trouble getting engineers or other staff on the job to help you with whatever comes up.

    If you pay for support it is great, otherwise you have to google.

    Alternatives Considered
    Amazon AWS
    I've tried a lot of different products. Backblaze, at least from a birds-eye view is significantly cheaper than AWS/the rest. Backblaze is a little more simpler, but it's well worth it. Linode also provides backup options, however I'm only familiar with their backup on their VPS's (however you make that plural), which never gave me a problem.

    We have evaluated Mysqldump and MySQL Enterprise backup. Mysqldump is not a scalable solution. MEB is a paid and closed source. As we are truly open-source, we were looking for an open-source solution that was reliable and scalable. Xtrbackup has all the required features to fulfill our requirements.

    Return on Investment
    Amazon AWS
    • Offsite means a failure at our cloud provider means we can redeploy quickly to another data center or another provider quickly.
    • The cost can't be best.
    • Pay only for what you use. No need to pay for extra data that you don't need.
    • No minimums
