What differentiates AWS Backup from other similar products?

AWS Backup offers different ways to recover your data. You can restore data at different levels, like whole volumes, databases, tables, or even individual files. It also allows you to recover data from specific backup instances based on the exact point in time you want to restore from.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

AWS Backup works well with other AWS services like AWS IAM, AWS CloudTrail, and AWS CloudFormation. This seamless integration improves security, allows for better tracking of backup activities, and makes it easier to manage backups within your existing AWS workflows.

What do you dislike most about this product?

AWS Backup makes backup management easier, it may not be suitable for all advanced or complex backup needs. In such cases, additional configuration and setup might be required. It's important to assess the complexity of your backup requirements and ensure that AWS Backup can effectively meet your specific needs before implementation.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Before fully implementing AWS Backup, it is recommended to start with a small-scale test called a proof-of-concept (POC) or pilot project. This allows you to try out AWS Backup in a controlled environment to assess how well it performs, how compatible it is with your existing setup, and how easy it is to use.

Integration with Other Security Software Service will integrate with existing security systems, such as firewalls, SOAR, SIEM, endpoint security, or other security components.

Physical Backup for Multiple Platforms Backs up data and system info for non-virtualized systems. Primarily Windows and Linux servers but also, potentially, AIX, Unix and others.

Backup Monitoring and Reporting Backup and replication are continually monitored for status and effectiveness. Detailed reporting is available on successful and unsuccessful operations.

Analytics Built-in real-time and historical reporting and analytics on SLAs, performance, and resource consumption, as well as predictive capabilities to plan & optimize.

Replication for Long Term Storage and Disaster Recovery Onsite backup data is replicated and stored to a public cloud (AWS, Azure). Can also include restore-to-cloud capabilities for Disaster Recovery as a Service.
