Introducing AWS Backup, a centralized AWS backup service

AWS Backup was launched yesterday, and it is integrated with Amazon DynamoDB, Amazon EBS, Amazon RDS, Amazon EFS, and AWS Storage Gateway to give you a fully managed AWS backup solution. AWS Backup centralizes and automates the backup and retention of your data across AWS services in the cloud as well as on premises. With the consolidated view in the AWS Backup console, you can monitor backups, manage backup plans, and provide audit information to simplify the process of ensuring compliance for internal policies and external regulatory audits. See the AWS Region Table for information about regional availability.
