You can get started with AWS Backup for Amazon S3 using the AWS Backup console, SDKs, or CLI by creating a centralized data protection policy and then assigning S3 buckets to it using tags or Resource IDs. When defining the policy, you can choose to create continuous or periodic backups based on your application needs. Once these steps are completed, AWS Backup will automatically start creating backups of S3 data in AWS Backup’s encrypted backup vaults. You can restore S3 buckets or individual S3 objects from your backup vault with a few simple clicks or with a single API call.
