Amazon Web Services (AWS) Backup – Product Review

AWS Backup was launched in 2019 as a tool to centralize the management and oversight of backup and recovery activities for cloud-based and, via the AWS Storage Gateway, on-premises AWS resources.

The software is acquired as a service hosted by AWS, with customers charged based on retention of backup storage and their restore and data copy activities (pricing varies based on
the source that is protected). Backup schedules (including the backup window) and retention policies can be automated and configured through a central console, or a command line interface (CLI) using public APIs. Descriptive metadata tags (e.g., finance department) can be used to direct automated, policy based data protection and lifecycle management activities. AWS Backup can copy tags from nested EBS volumes to EC2 backups, so that customers can more easily search the backup environment and conduct billing for backups.

Data is encrypted in flight and at rest. Logs describing backup activities are available for audit purposes. Backups can be copied across regions and accounts. AWS Backup can restore full systems and, for Amazon EFS file systems, single files to AWS-native cloud storage targets or to an on-premises data center through the AWS Storage Gateway. To streamline recoveries for EC2 instances running as applications, AWS Backup can protect all EBS volumes attached to the specific EC2 instance, along with the EC2 instance configuration (AMI).

Welcome

The vision behind everything in Futurum’s Custom Research practice is this: research should show you what is happening, what comes next, and what to do about it. It should be personal to each audience, easy for people to grasp, and structured so LLMs can reason over it accurately. And it should be fast and turnkey; you want answers now, not another project to carry for quarters.

Whether you are defining business, channel, or go-to-market strategy; evaluating vendors or justifying ROI; or commissioning research to fill an emerging market need, we have your back, with a program that answers your questions with the objectivity and credibility to drive real decisions.

To do it, we bring unmatched data to bear: Futurum research, surveys, and market projections; validated market feeds; ETR’s 15 years of insight from 10,000 technology decision-makers; G2’s buyer and user data; and what our analysts hear every day. Add leading primary collection, from AI-moderated voice interviews to surveys and analyst-led interviews, all turnkey, and every project comes out credible, nuanced, and actionable.

And we don’t just drop the results in your lap. For internal work, we provide analyst-led sessions, interactive dashboards, and a range of formats. For market-facing work, Futurum delivers turnkey activation and amplification that actually gets seen, by people and by LLMs, through our media and share of voice. This is research that moves decisions and markets.

We will meet you wherever you are, from a fast-turn brief to a multi-year program, and shape the work to your goals, timeline, and budget. The right program for your moment.

If any of this is useful, I would love to talk.
