AWS Backup
- AWS Backup is a fully-managed service that helps centralize and automate data protection across AWS services, in the cloud, and on premises.
- helps configure backup policies and monitor activity for the AWS resources in one place.
- helps automate and consolidate backup tasks previously performed service-by-service and removes the need to create custom scripts and manual processes.
- helps create backup policies called backup plans that help define the backup requirements like frequency, window, retention period, etc.
- automatically backs up the AWS resources according to the defined backup plan.
- can apply backup plans to the AWS resources by simply tagging them.
- stores the periodic backups incrementally which provides benefit from the data protection of frequent backups while minimizing storage costs.

AWS Certification Exam Practice Questions
- Questions are collected from Internet and the answers are marked as per my knowledge and understanding (which might differ with yours).
- AWS services are updated everyday and both the answers and questions might be outdated soon, so research accordingly.
- AWS exam questions are not updated to keep up the pace with AWS updates, so even if the underlying feature has changed the question might not be updated
- Open to further feedback, discussion and correction.
- For the production account, a SysOps administrator must ensure that all data is backed up daily for all current and future Amazon EC2 instances and Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) file systems. Backups must be retained for 30 days. Which solution will meet these requirements with the LEAST amount of effort?
- Create a backup plan in AWS Backup. Assign resources by resource ID, selecting all existing EC2 and EFS resources that are running in the account. Edit the backup plan daily to include any new resources. Schedule the backup plan to run every day with a lifecycle policy to expire backups after 30 days.
- Create a backup plan in AWS Backup. Assign resources by tags. Ensure that all existing EC2 and EFS resources are tagged correctly. Schedule the backup plan to run every day with a lifecycle policy to expire backups after 30 days.
- Create a lifecycle policy in Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager (Amazon DLM). Assign all resources by resource ID, selecting all existing EC2 and EFS resources that are running in the account. Edit the lifecycle policy daily to include any new resources. Schedule the lifecycle policy to create snapshots every day with a retention period of 30 days.
