AWS Backup is used as the main backup solution for the core of our system (which is based on AWS infrastructure). AWS Backup is used mainly to back up our servers--and some important data--on regularly scheduled backups. This solution enables us to centralize and automate the backup of all of our AWS services (EBS volumes, EFS file systems, and databases).
- It does what it supposed to do--backs up data
- Almost a full solution to disaster recovery
- Integrates with AWS services
- Not so easy to use
- A little pricey
- The backup is in the cloud; make sure to keep an offline backup (the problem of all of this kind of solution)
- Integration with AWS infrastructure and services
- Centralized backup solution
- Dashboard to get backup status
- Fast integration with other AWS services (but you must learn how to use it)
- Reduced backup headache
- Decreased recovery time
- Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service)
The other method of backups we considered was a scheduled backup of important data to AWS S3 and manual backup of data to a third-party storage (local/other cloud service). It works, but it takes much more time than using AWS Backup. AWS Backup interfaces with AWS services, and as long as you use AWS services supported by AWS Backup, it might be the easiest solution to back up data.

A single place for your backups
Basically we use AWS Backup to complete the cycle of lifetime backups, and also for centraliz[ing] those backups in one place. In first place we used just AMI backups, but when AWS release this service was amazing for us, because we can tag all resource that we want backup for.
- tag select
- backup voults
- Backup plans
- add more services to support aws backups
- optimized the total size of backups (used one)
- try to make previews of backups
- decrease recovery times
- securely our environments daily and monthly
- reduce the investment on AMI and S3 backups
because its easy to startup on it and also so easy to use, and again its just a one single place for control, create and recover your instances and environments. Great product overall and a must to have in your infrastructure.
Also we recommend try it and even daily or monthly create a recovery test environment to check the all process in action.
It was primarily being used as our DB backups across the whole organization. We had daily backups as well as rollups of weekly and monthly backups. We could pull application state at any one of those given times.
- Ease of use
- Integration
- Compatibility
- I've been pleased with everything it has to offer

- It was great for digesting QA inquiries and narrowing down specific problems that could only be solved by pulling a backup on a specific date.
- Veeam Backup & Replication
We decided to go with AWS Backup because we already use other products within the AWS suite.

- Being able to offer live hot storage in the cloud for production environments allows me to get more people in the creative space with vast demand for speed.
- Great integration with all my hardware, firewall and backup software was great.
- Being able to network path my files like a native drive to my computer from the cloud made the designer not complain so much able learning new stuff.
Well Microsoft Azure is cheaper but that said AWS has more hardware and software partners so that can give a real deep integration to your AWS files. Also AWS also has a lot more support option, and is older and more mature. That said AWS isn't as easy or as pretty as Microsoft Azure is. For people just starting out I would use Microsoft Azure.
