You can use the native RDS backup Feature for RDS DB's. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/USER_WorkingWithAutomatedBackups.html https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/database/backup-and-restore-strategies-for-amazon-rds-for-sql-server/
FOR EC2, you can use Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager to automate the creation, retention, and deletion of EBS snapshots and EBS-backed AMIs. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/snapshot-lifecycle.html https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/storage/automating-amazon-ebs-snapshot-and-ami-management-using-amazon-dlm/

I can't find the Lifecycle Manager in the Zurich EC2 dashboard. Is there any other way to backup EC2 Zurich instances?
Hi there!
So effectively this means that long term backups (beyond 35 days) within the same region can only be created through manual RDS snapshots? Are the manual snapshots kept for a certain time duration or indefinitely?
This seems quite unsatisfactory for any company in a regulated environment (e.g. a FinTech needing to keep backups of CID in Switzerland).
Is there a timeline or ETA by when S3 snapshots will come to the Zurich region?
Best and many thanks in advance!
