Decide on AWS Backup Requirements

Problem

Context

We need a standardized way to implement backup services for AWS resources (S3, databases, EC2 instances, EFS, etc. etc.) to have the ability to restore data from points in time in the event of data loss or corruption.

AWS provides a managed backup service offering called AWS Backup. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/aws-backup/latest/devguide/whatisbackup.html

We need to determine if we are opting in or opting out using AWS Backup.
