How continuity management works
AMS backup plans for EDI define how frequently AWS Backup backs up your data and the retention policy for your backups. ECO backup vaults keep your backup data organized. After you associate a compatible resource with a backup plan, AWS Backup automatically backs up the resource. The first backup is a full copy, and subsequent backups capture incremental changes.
The ECO team applies the default backup plan for your EDI environment that provides a reasonable restoration and retention period. However, there are other enhanced and data sensitive backup plans. To determine the most effective backup plan for your environment, work with your E-SDM when you're onboarding.
The following table lists the backup plan restoration and retention periods.
