Implementing a Backup Strategy for AWS Environment

In this era of digital transformation, every business is a software business to some degree. As systems landscapes become more complicated and dynamic, backup strategies become crucial — and more difficult to implement.?

Even within the AWS suite, tool sprawl can complicate your backup strategy. While AWS offered just three services when it launched in 2006, it now comprises hundreds of tools. Many of them seem like they do the exact same thing, and each service offers its own individual backup option. Without a plan, versatility can grow into complication.

One underutilized service, AWS Backup, allows you to centralize your backups across all the AWS services you use, giving you visibility across your toolkit and enabling you to manage your backups from a single unified hub. This can drastically lower the maintenance burden and TCO of your backup strategy.?

That said, AWS Backup must be correctly configured — schedules, resource selection, retention policies, etc.?
