REL 7. How are you backing up your data?

 

Back up data, applications, and operating environments (defined as operating systems configured with applications) to meet requirements for mean time to recovery (MTTR) and recovery point objectives (RPO).
Best practices:
 Data is Backed Up Back up important data using Amazon S3, Amazon EBS snapshots, or third-party software to meet RPO.
 Automated Backups Use AWS features, AWS Marketplace solutions, or third-party software to automate backups.
 Backups are Secured and/or Encrypted See the AWS Security Best Practices whitepaper.
 Periodic Recovery Testing Validate that the backup process implementation meets RTO and RPO through a recovery test.
