Hello.
Are you using bitnami WordPress with Lightsail?
In that case, I think it would be a good idea to enable Lightsail's automatic backups or create a script to periodically run manual backups.

AWS CLI and SDK are available, so if you use this and run it with cron, you can create snapshots on a weekly basis.

If you host bitnami WordPress on EC2, you can create backups with AWS Backup.

Creating an EBS snapshot means that you are performing a backup. AWS Backup is a service for managing backups. AWS Backup can automate EBS snapshot and AMI creation. In other words, if you want to create weekly backups, you can create an AMI and snapshot with AWS Backup.
