Getting started with AWS Backup

Back up your AWS resources with AWS Backup

AWS Backup makes it easy to centrally configure backup policies and monitor backup activity for AWS resources, such as HAQM Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) instances, HAQM Elastic Block Store (EBS) volumes, HAQM Relational Database Service (RDS) databases, HAQM DynamoDB tables, HAQM Elastic File System (EFS) file systems, HAQM FSx file systems, and AWS Storage Gateway volumes.
