AWS Backup the one and only tool you need to keep all safe in AWS
Rating: 10 out of 10
IncentivizedUse Cases and Deployment Scope
We rely on AWS Backup to keep all our resources backed up, whether they be EC2 instances or RDS/Aurora Clusters. We can keep all resources backed up with a plan an retention policies. AWS Backup allows restores easily keeping all the metadata so the restored resource is exactly as the original resource.
Pros
- Back up almost any resource in AWS Backup, EC2, RDS, DynamoDB, S3, etc
- Restore the resource leaving it identical to the original
- Works with AWS Organization so you can cover all your AWS accounts with a single Plan
Cons
- 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
Likelihood to Recommend
AWS Backup is well suited for any environment on AWS where you need to protect your resources from disasters, whether human or hardware/software. If you have on-premises resources is not the best option as AWS Backup is not able to copy all your information from the physical/virtual resources, there are other services for that.
