[SOP] Backing Up Resources with AWS Backup
[SOP] Restoring Resources with AWS Backup

Who is this announcement for?

For all Engineers in Product Teams

What are the action items for each teams?

Tag resources with the Key: OrgAWSBackup and Value as one of the following: Hourly or Daily. This allows them to be backed up into the Backup Vault automatically. Read this SOP for further information.

If you haven’t join the sharing session on last Wednesday. Please join the sharing session about this on Mar 22, 2022 at 03:00PM UTC+7

Why is this needed?

Different teams are implementing their own backup policies, tools and processes, which eliminates visibility. AWS Backup Manager allows us to centrally monitor and manage backups, so we can easily create auditing reports and ensure they’re being backed up according to their respective policies.
