Get started building with AWS Backup in the AWS Management Console. AWS Backup is a fully managed, policy-based backup solution that makes it easy to automatically back up your application data across AWS services in the cloud as well as on-premises.
Periodic (snapshot) backups only, scheduled or on-demand: AWS Backup scans the entire S3 bucket, retrieves each object’s ACL and tags, and initiates a Head request for every object that was in the prior snapshot but was not found in the snapshot being created. The backup is point-in-time consistent.
