Can I apply the backup service when I use EC2 autoscaling?

0

Auto-scaling does not seem to provide backup functions on its own. Can I get backup services for EC2 subject to auto-scaling using other services?

Hello.

By selecting EC2 as a resource in AWS Backup and setting the tag set on EC2 as a backup target, EC2 running with AutoScaling will also be backed up.

    You can but why would you as the EC2 could be terminated at any time. If you have critical data on the EC2 in the ASG then perhaps the data needs to be stored else where like an EFS or S3
