Today, AWS Backup announces support for local time zone selection in your backup plan, allowing you to manage your backup schedule according to your local time zone. AWS Backup is a fully managed service that centralizes and automates data protection across AWS services and hybrid workloads. Now, when creating or editing existing backup plans, you can select a backup window time zone, eliminating the need for manual time zone conversions from UTC. 

Local time zone selections are available in all Regions where AWS Backup is available. You can get started by using the AWS Backup console, API, or CLI. For more information on using local timezone with AWS Backup, visit the documentation
