Backups managed by AWS Backup are considered manual EBS snapshots, but don't count toward the EBS snapshot quota for Amazon EBS. You can use AWS Backup to manage backups of Amazon EBS volumes. You pay only for the EBS backup capacity you use, and no other added costs. When using AWS Backup with Amazon EBS and Amazon EC2, you can centralize your compliance and policy control for backups, increase security choices for your organization, and access instant enterprise level features and functionality. AWS Backup then automatically backs up your AWS resources according to the backup plan that you defined.ĪWS Backup currently supports Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) and Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances. AWS Backup lets you apply backup plans to your AWS resources by simply tagging them. You can use these plans to define your backup requirements, such as how frequently to back up your data and how long to retain those backups. With AWS Backup, you can create backup policies called backup plans. With just a few clicks in the AWS Backup console, you can create backup policies that automate backup schedules and retention management. AWS Backup helps you support your regulatory compliance obligations and meet your business continuity goals.

AWS Backup offers a cost-effective, fully managed, policy-based service that simplifies data protection at scale. AWS Backup enables you to centralize and automate data protection across AWS services.
