Here, we'll make sense of the rudiments of the AWS Backup service, separate its pricing and show models. Also, we'll demonstrate the way that NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP can assist you with diminishing your Amazon storage costs.
What is the AWS Backup Service?
In 2019 Amazon sent off a dedicated service named AWS Backup that mechanizes and manages backups across various AWS services. AWS lets you backup information from Versatile File System (EFS), DynamoDB, RDS, and EBS, and furthermore upholds the AWS Storage Gateway, permitting it to incorporate with on-premises storage.
AWS Backup allows you to characterize new backups utilizing the AWS Control center, or automatically utilizing a JSON file. It utilizes three related ideas that assist you with characterizing your backup procedure:
- Backup rules — timetable, recurrence, and backup window for indicated assets
- Lifecycle rules — characterize what occurs with old backups
- Vaults — a gathering of backups, scrambled by AWS Key Management Service (KMS)
It's vital to understand that AWS backup doesn't straightforwardly perform backups. Rather, it coordinates with the current backup systems for every Amazon service, and halfway manages backups for you.
What does AWS backup manage across the different storage services?
- Amazon EFS — backup of EFS file systems
- Amazon DynamoDB — backup of DynamoDB tables
- Amazon EBS — EBS depictions
- Amazon RDS — backup of whole RDS information bases
- AWS Storage Gateway — backup of Storage Gateway volumes
AWS Backup Pricing Parts
AWS backup is priced by how much storage your backups use, and the volume of information you reestablish when required.
Note that the prices recorded beneath are right at the hour of this composition, however AWS pricing is likely to visit change. For the most recent pricing see the authority pricing page. Additionally see NetApp's AWS number cruncher to gauge your Amazon storage costs and think about various storage services.
Backup Pricing
The accompanying table shows the price each GB-month for backup storage, per Amazon storage service and Amazon area. We show three model areas — US East, Frankfurt and Seoul.
The AWS Backup service gives two storage levels to backup information: warm storage and cold storage. All prices beneath are for warm storage, with the exception of EFS which likewise upholds cold storage at a lower price range.

Reestablish Pricing
The accompanying table shows the price per GB moved (note that reestablish tasks are priced per GB moved, not at all like backup which is priced each GB-month), across similar three locales.
Once more, all prices are displayed for warm storage, aside from EFS which offers both warm and cold storage.
| Resource Type | US East (N. Virginia) | EU (Frankfurt) | Asia Pacific (Seoul) |
| Amazon EFS | $0.02 per GB | $0.024 per GB | $0.022 per GB |

AWS Backup Pricing Models
The accompanying tables can assist you with understanding the amount AWS backup will cost for some model situations. We use prices for the US East district.
Backup for EFS file system
| Backup Period | Backups Capacity | EFS Restores | Total Cost |
| 1 Month | 10 GB | 10 per month X 1 GB | $0.7 |
| 6 Months | 50 GB | 10 per month X 5 GB | $21 |
| 12 Months | 100 GB | 10 per month X 10 GB | $84 |
Backup for EBS volumes
| Backup Period | Backups Capacity | EBS Restores | Total Cost |
| 1 Month | 10 GB | 10 per month X 1 GB | $0.05 |

A complete feature overview of AWS Backup
AWS Backup is an AWS service intended to give an incorporated area to computerizing information backups.
At the hour of distribution, AWS Backup works with a set number of explicit services. It tends to be utilized to back up your EBS volumes (block storage utilized by different AWS examples), RDS information bases (Amazon's social data set offering), DynamoDB tables (a key-worth and record data set), EFS file systems (a completely managed network shared storage), and Storage Gateway volumes (a half breed cloud storage service intended to work with on-premises resources). Amazon EC2, Amazon VPC, Amazon Aurora and Amazon Redshift are as yet not upheld with AWS Backup and hence different arrangements to robotize your EC2 backups would should be executed.
AWS Backup utilizes backup arrangements, known as "backup plans," which assist you with characterizing the different prerequisites that can be applied to your AWS resources. You can, for instance, make a backup plan to guarantee an everyday, week after week, month to month, 12-hour, or even specially (made in cron design) backup plan. You can then run that timetable utilizing the suggested default backup window or a custom one that you like.
At the point when you pick your backup plan, you can likewise lay out a lifecycle for your backups. They can be shipped off cold storage (this choice is presently just accessible for EFS file systems) or terminated totally. These choices permit you to lessen the cost of putting away backups.
Your backup plan can be made without any preparation by picking one of the choices referenced previously. On the other hand, you can begin with a current plan and pick a premade format that suits you, like a day to day backup with a 35-day maintenance period or a month to month backup with a one-year maintenance period.
You can likewise characterize a plan without any preparation utilizing JSON. This can be utilized when you need to make another plan in view of an all around existing one or when you need to impart plans to your other AWS accounts.
AWS Backup just makes a total duplicate of your information whenever the backup first is started. Each resulting backup is steady, implying that main the progressions being made to your AWS resources will be backed up.
