# Amazon DynamoDB backups
<a name="amazon-dynamodb-backups"></a>

Backups for Amazon DynamoDB Tables are not set up by default. If you require backups for the data that is stored in DynamoDB Tables, see [Backing Up a DynamoDB Table](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/amazondynamodb/latest/developerguide/Backup.Tutorial.html) in the *Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide*.

For recovery of backed up data, see [Restoring a DynamoDB table from a backup](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/amazondynamodb/latest/developerguide/Restore.Tutorial.html) in the *Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide*. Alternatively, you can use [Point-in-time recovery for DynamoDB](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/amazondynamodb/latest/developerguide/PointInTimeRecovery.html) as your backup and recovery method.
