What do you like best about AWS Backup?

The ease of configuring your EBS or Disk EC2, to create daily snapshots is super easy and intuitive, it allows you to configure different snapshots, by zone, parameterizing each EC2 or EBS, from an idle location.

I am really amazed at how this tool can back up 2TB of our instances in just minutes.

Without a doubt, it is a tool, which parameterizes each backup by day, week or month, and takes a complete photo of each of your EC2, EBS and S3. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Backup?

So far, so good, it works perfectly for me to back up my EC2 disks.

Maybe it is a bit expensive since, in order to have the tools enabled, you must be able to have EC2 plans, which has a cost according to the structure a bit high.

Although it is easy to use, for an advanced user, for a user with zero or little experience, it is a bit complicated to understand how to configure a backup plan, for a zone and with specific rules. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering AWS Backup:

If you don't have an Amazon AWS account, this is the time to purchase it

Amazon AWS Backup is a comprehensive solution in the company's infrastructure because it gives you security and confidence when backing up EC2 or EBS instances Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is AWS Backup solving and how is that benefiting you?

Before they had to be doing a weekly snapshot manually of my EC2s, but the AWS backup could solve this, backing up our EC2 disks.

At first I had no idea how AWS worked and when I tried to do it alone, it was a bit complex, but our company has business support, and I had the support guide from Amazon.

And you can configure several solutions and define rules by territory, to be able to take snapshots of all our instances, in different periods, either daily, weekly or monthly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to use and great pricing structure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Backup?

The process to restore ec2 images is not as easy as we hoped. You cannot attach elastic ips and security keys without going thru the set up wizard typically used to launch an ec2.

Additionally, you set up backup windows which isn't as great as being able to schedule for a specific time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is AWS Backup solving and how is that benefiting you?

This low cost tool works great to ensure all cloud resources are backed up. And it provides great flexibility for backup frequencies and low cost storage options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
