Explanation
AWS Backup is a fully managed backup service that can create backup plans for EC2 instances, including both instance configurations and attached EBS volumes, with scheduled and cross- Region copy capabilities. By adding the EC2 instances to the resource assignment in the backup plan, AWS Backup automatically backs up all configurations and attached EBS volumes, and can copy backups to a secondary Region for disaster recovery, providing the highest operational efficiency with the least manual effort.
