On-demand backups remain accessible even after you delete the source table. When you delete a table that has PITR enabled, the system stops tracking changes. If you need to recover a table that you deleted, you need to contact AWS Support to restore that table from a PITR backup within the 35-day recovery window.

You can now restore a PITR-enabled table that was deleted from the DynamoDB console.

I have few question on DynamoDB PITR backups.
- where DynamoDB table PITR backups will store. s3 or different location/service?
- What will happen to DynamoDB table backups, when i delete DynamoDB, which has PITR enabled. are we able to restore data to any point of time(35 days) or particular time( i mean as part of DynamoDB table delete, final backup will be created under Backup tab).
- Are we able to rename existing table.
Hello
Please find the answers to your questions in-line

DynamoDB backups are managed service and hence these backups are not stored in customer's S3 , but are stored in internal accounts -
What will happen to DynamoDB table backups, when i delete DynamoDB, which has PITR enabled. are we able to restore data to any point of time(35 days) or particular time( i mean as part of DynamoDB table delete, final backup will be created under Backup tab).
All ondemand backups will continue to exist after you delete the table. A new backup will be created on deletion if PITR is enabled.
Using the PITR backup , the table will get restored to the Latest restore date (when the table was deleted) -
Are we able to rename existing table.
Currently there is no feature to rename an existing table.
Thanks
