The new option helps meet business continuity goals and targets three main use cases: applications that need point-in-time recovery of multiple objects, recovery of S3 content after an accidental deletion and backup and recovery solutions for enterprise data lakes. Continuous backups allow restore to any point in time within the last 35 days, periodic backups can be stored indefinitely and support frequencies of 1 hour, 12 hours, 1 day, 1 week and 1 month.

AWS Backup creates encrypted backup vaults that can be restored with an API request. To enable AWS Backup for S3, developers must create a centralized data protection policy, choosing between continuous and periodic backups, and assign it to the S3 bucket using tags or resource IDs. The new feature automates the backup and restore of application data on S3 and combines it with the backup of other services, including instances and databases. Amazon recently announced the general availability of AWS Backup for Amazon S3, a managed option to centralize data protection for applications storing data on S3.
