Protect data from being lost when restore from backup

Question

I created backup of my dynamodb table. During the restore process, if there was any accidents like : region disaster or aws infrastructure got fail, etc. The restore process will be corrupted and data would be lost. Are there any solutions to avoid from being lost data ? I'm thinking about export data to s3 for just in case. Along with dynamodb is Aurora, beside automated backup, do I need to create snapshot, copy snapshot to another region ? These are some solutions I came up with, so I would like to know that is there any better solutions out there ?

For DynamoDB you can transfer your snapshots across regions/accounts using the integration with AWS Backup which will protect you should a region have a failure. You can make a copy of a current backup. You can copy backups to multiple AWS accounts or AWS Regions on demand or automatically as part of a scheduled backup plan. You can also automate a sequence of cross-account and cross-Region copies for Amazon DynamoDB Encryption Client.
