AWS Backup
AWS Backup centralizes backup management across various AWS services, handling policy creation and execution for resources like EC2 instances, RDS databases, and DynamoDB tables. It automates recovery point creation and retention schedules, ensuring consistent protection strategies without needing to configure individual service-specific backup tools.
This setup suits teams managing multiple AWS workloads who need unified control over their data protection policies. The main friction point is the lack of a free tier and the opaque pricing model, which requires contacting AWS for specific costs. This makes initial cost estimation difficult for smaller projects or those testing backup strategies before committing to a full deployment.
