Easy to read and very succinct ! Loved this course. Its better than most other courses  out there that are either half baked or way to detailed. 

Excellent,  time and money well spent on this.

Worth it !

# AWS backups

There are two types of backups for AWS:
1. Automated Backups
1. Database Snapshots 

## Automated backups

Automated Backups allow you to recover your database to any point in time within a retention period. The retention period can be between 1 – 35 days. Automated backups will take a full daily snapshot and will store transaction logs throughout the day. This allows you to do a point in time recovery down to a second, within the retention period.

Automated backups are enabled by default. The backup data is stored in S3 and your tree storage space is equal to the size of the database.
