To implement a backup of Amazon server instances, you can use Amazon’s native backup service called AWS Backup. Here are the general steps:
- Create an AWS Backup plan: Go to the AWS Backup console and create a backup plan. A backup plan defines how frequently backups should occur, the retention period for backups, and the resources to backup.
- Select the Amazon server instances: Add the Amazon server instances you want to backup to the backup plan.
- Configure backup settings: Configure the backup settings for the instances, including the frequency of backups, the backup window, and retention settings.
- Review and launch the backup plan: Review the backup plan and launch it.
AWS Backup automatically creates and manages backup jobs based on the defined backup plan. Backups are stored in Amazon S3, and you can restore the data to the same or different Amazon server instances as needed.
