Overall Satisfaction with AWS Backup

We rely on AWS Backup to keep all our resources backed up, whether they be EC2 instances or RDS/Aurora Clusters. We can keep all resources backed up with a plan an retention policies. AWS Backup allows restores easily keeping all the metadata so the restored resource is exactly as the original resource.

Pros

  • Back up almost any resource in AWS Backup, EC2, RDS, DynamoDB, S3, etc
  • Restore the resource leaving it identical to the original
  • Works with AWS Organization so you can cover all your AWS accounts with a single Plan

Cons

  • Restoring the compute nodes of the cluster should be done always
  • Having the default Roles all the necessary permission, you have to add some depending on your configurations
  • Being able to see the Jobs status in a centralize account more graphically
  • With AWS Backup we can restore a resource in minutes
  • With AWS Backup we don't need to worry if a resources is being backed up or not, the plan you can configure can cover all resources
  • With AWS Backup you can plan for Disaster Recovery as it lets you copy the backup to other account or region
AWS Backup is so simple to use yet so powerful, it alleviates the burden of having a backup plan and managing all the processes to copy, encrypt and delete historical copies of a resource. AWS Backup makes easy to restore resource to the original state without having to worry about keeping a copy of the configuration in another tool.
AWS Backup is already integrated with a lot of its services so is native option to go without needing third-party software.

AWS Backup is well suited for any environment on AWS where you need to protect your resources from disasters, whether human or hardware/software. If you have on-premises resources is not the best option as AWS Backup is not able to copy all your information from the physical/virtual resources, there are other services for that.
