Amazon Web Services announces AWS Backup for data backup: All you need to know

Amazon web services has released fully managed centralised Backup service which gives faster, simpler data backup services as well as helps customers to meet their business and regulatory backup compliance requirements Easily. AWS Backup makes protecting storage volumes, databases, and file systems easier by giving customers a single service to configure and audit the AWS resources. The customers can also back up on-premises application data through the AWS Backup integration with AWS Storage Gateway providing a common way to protect their on-premises data in the AWS cloud.
  
AWS Backup removes the need for custom solutions or manual processes by providing a centralized place to manage backups across AWS.

With just a few clicks in the AWS Management Console, customers can create a policy that defines how frequently backups are created and how long they are stored.

Customers can then assign these policies to their AWS resources, and AWS Backup automatically handles the rest by automatically scheduling backup actions for the assigned AWS resources, orchestrating across AWS services, and managing their retention period.

"As the cloud has become the default choice for customers of all sizes, it has attracted two distinct types of builders.

Some are tinkerers who want to tweak and fine tune the full range of AWS services into a desired architecture, and other builders are drawn to the same breadth and depth of functionality in AWS, but are willing to trade some of the service granularity to start at a higher abstraction layer, so they can build even faster," said Bill Vass, VP of Storage, Automation, and Management Services, AWS.

"We designed AWS Backup for this second type of builder who has told us that they want one place to go for backups versus having to do it across multiple, individual services.

Today, we are proud to make AWS Backup available with support for block storage volumes, databases, and file systems, and over time, we plan to support additional AWS services."
