In this episode, we discuss AWS Backup and Amazon Glacier, two critical services for ensuring the durability, security, and long-term retention of your data in the cloud. AWS Backup is a fully managed backup service that automates the backup of AWS resources such as EC2 instances, RDS databases, EFS file systems, and DynamoDB tables. We’ll walk you through how to set up backup plans, automate backup schedules, and configure retention policies to ensure your data is regularly backed up and easily recoverable.

We’ll also explore Amazon Glacier, a cost-effective, long-term data archiving solution designed for infrequently accessed data. Glacier offers extremely low storage costs, making it ideal for backup and archival use cases such as regulatory compliance, media preservation, and disaster recovery. We’ll explain how Glacier fits into the AWS backup strategy, and how you can use Amazon S3 Glacier and Glacier Deep Archive to store large amounts of data at a fraction of the cost of standard storage. By the end of this episode, you’ll understand how to use AWS Backup and Glacier to create a reliable, cost-effective data protection strategy.
