1
00:00:00,330 --> 00:00:03,060
Okay, so let's practice using AWS Backups.

2
00:00:03,060 --> 00:00:07,180
So I'm going to type aws backup into the search bar

3
00:00:07,180 --> 00:00:09,270
and open the Backup service.

4
00:00:09,270 --> 00:00:11,630
So we are going to create our first Backup plan.

5
00:00:11,630 --> 00:00:13,730
So I'm going to click on Create Backup plan.

6
00:00:13,730 --> 00:00:14,810
And we have three options,

7
00:00:14,810 --> 00:00:17,750
either we Start with a template, or we Build a new plan,

8
00:00:17,750 --> 00:00:19,600
or we Define a plan using JSON.

9
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:22,040
So the simplest for us is to Start with a template.

10
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:23,190
And we can have different templates,

11
00:00:23,190 --> 00:00:25,730
for example, Daily-35day-Retention,

12
00:00:25,730 --> 00:00:27,790
Daily-Monthly-1yr-Retention and so on.

13
00:00:27,790 --> 00:00:30,430
So let's go with Daily-Monthly-1yr-Retention

14
00:00:30,430 --> 00:00:31,730
and I'll call it TestPlan.

15
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:35,400
Next, we can look at Backup rules.

16
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:37,420
And you see we can have many backup rules

17
00:00:37,420 --> 00:00:38,810
in our Backup rules.

18
00:00:38,810 --> 00:00:42,440
So we have two, we have DailyBackups and Monthly.

19
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:44,440
So if I click on DailyBackup,

20
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:46,040
as we can see, there's a rule name.

21
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:48,160
The Backup vault is wherever the backup is going.

22
00:00:48,160 --> 00:00:50,510
So we can use a default one by AWS

23
00:00:50,510 --> 00:00:52,130
or we can create our own new Backup vault

24
00:00:52,130 --> 00:00:53,360
if we wanted to.

25
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:55,700
The Backup frequency, the Backup windows,

26
00:00:55,700 --> 00:00:58,810
so when to start which is 5:00 AM, UTC,

27
00:00:58,810 --> 00:01:00,250
start within eight hours.

28
00:01:00,250 --> 00:01:01,960
But we can customize it if you want,

29
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:04,500
whether or not you want to Transition to cold storage,

30
00:01:04,500 --> 00:01:07,250
Never, after some Days, Weeks, Months, or Years.

31
00:01:07,250 --> 00:01:08,740
And the retention period of your backup,

32
00:01:08,740 --> 00:01:11,650
for example, this one is retained for five weeks.

33
00:01:11,650 --> 00:01:13,820
Then we can also copy these backups

34
00:01:13,820 --> 00:01:15,370
to a specific destination,

35
00:01:15,370 --> 00:01:19,170
for example, another region for disaster recovery purposes.

36
00:01:19,170 --> 00:01:21,000
So I'm going to save this backup rule.

37
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,400
And for Monthly, while we get this similar thing,

38
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:25,770
so it's going into the Default Backup vault.

39
00:01:25,770 --> 00:01:28,780
It's monthly on day one of each month

40
00:01:28,780 --> 00:01:30,400
and the rest looks the same.

41
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:31,890
So we actually transitioned these ones

42
00:01:31,890 --> 00:01:33,630
to cold storage after one month,

43
00:01:33,630 --> 00:01:35,913
and then we retain them for one year.

44
00:01:37,010 --> 00:01:39,510
Okay, so we have these ready

45
00:01:39,510 --> 00:01:43,350
and then I can just scroll down and click on Create plan.

46
00:01:43,350 --> 00:01:46,270
So now our TestPlan is created

47
00:01:46,270 --> 00:01:48,290
and we need to assign resources to it.

48
00:01:48,290 --> 00:01:50,690
So I'm going to click on Assign resources

49
00:01:50,690 --> 00:01:54,307
and I'll just call it TestAssignment.

50
00:01:54,307 --> 00:01:56,680
And here we can choose our IAM role

51
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:57,660
to perform these backups.

52
00:01:57,660 --> 00:01:59,210
So let's use the Default role,

53
00:01:59,210 --> 00:02:00,610
but we can create our own IAM role

54
00:02:00,610 --> 00:02:01,620
if we wanted to.

55
00:02:01,620 --> 00:02:02,610
And because we don't have

56
00:02:02,610 --> 00:02:05,740
an AWS Backup default role already,

57
00:02:05,740 --> 00:02:07,230
one is going to be created for us

58
00:02:07,230 --> 00:02:08,500
with the correct permissions.

59
00:02:08,500 --> 00:02:09,820
So that's perfect.

60
00:02:09,820 --> 00:02:11,430
And then to assign resources,

61
00:02:11,430 --> 00:02:13,630
we can either assign them a Resource ID,

62
00:02:13,630 --> 00:02:16,962
for example, saying hey, I want this DynamoDB table

63
00:02:16,962 --> 00:02:19,490
with this resource ID to be backed up

64
00:02:19,490 --> 00:02:23,080
or this EC2 Instance or this EBS volume.

65
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:24,480
Or you can say by tags,

66
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:29,480
for example, I can say Environment and then Production.

67
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:31,780
And so anything that will be tagged

68
00:02:31,780 --> 00:02:34,600
with Environment Production is going to be backed up.

69
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:36,120
So I'm going to keep these tags.

70
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,260
And so anything that will be tagged within AWS

71
00:02:38,260 --> 00:02:40,500
with these tags is going to be backed up.

72
00:02:40,500 --> 00:02:42,280
So click on Assign resources.

73
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:44,830
And so just to make it very, very clear,

74
00:02:44,830 --> 00:02:47,100
if I went into EC2

75
00:02:47,100 --> 00:02:50,030
and I were to create an EBS Volume

76
00:02:51,610 --> 00:02:53,170
and that volume would have,

77
00:02:53,170 --> 00:02:55,580
so for example, one gigabyte.

78
00:02:55,580 --> 00:03:00,580
And then the key would be Environment Production,

79
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,480
then this would be automatically backed up

80
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:04,450
by my backup plan,

81
00:03:04,450 --> 00:03:06,240
because it has the correct tags.

82
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:09,500
So if you look at our Volume right now, and we go into Tags,

83
00:03:09,500 --> 00:03:11,990
as we can see, it has Environment Production,

84
00:03:11,990 --> 00:03:14,670
which corresponds to the tags that I've set up

85
00:03:14,670 --> 00:03:16,140
for my backup plan.

86
00:03:16,140 --> 00:03:18,800
Okay, so this is the assignments right here.

87
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,980
And we can have multiple assignments as well in here.

88
00:03:21,980 --> 00:03:23,800
Okay, and then that's it.

89
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:26,340
The backup plan is going to run automatically.

90
00:03:26,340 --> 00:03:29,840
And then the backups are going appear in my backup vaults.

91
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:34,030
Okay, the jobs are going to be scheduled and happening.

92
00:03:34,030 --> 00:03:36,340
So we have Backup jobs, Restore jobs, and Copy jobs

93
00:03:36,340 --> 00:03:37,720
if we wanted to.

94
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:39,640
And then we can look at the Settings.

95
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:41,140
So the settings is around,

96
00:03:41,140 --> 00:03:42,700
do you want to have Backup policies,

97
00:03:42,700 --> 00:03:43,820
Cross-account monitoring,

98
00:03:43,820 --> 00:03:45,720
Cross-account backups, and so on.

99
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,990
But we've seen the basics of how backups work

100
00:03:48,990 --> 00:03:50,040
and so that's it.

101
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:51,910
I wanted to show you all this, okay?

102
00:03:51,910 --> 00:03:53,190
That's all you need to know,

103
00:03:53,190 --> 00:03:54,570
and now I'm going to delete everything.

104
00:03:54,570 --> 00:03:57,880
So for that, please make sure to delete your EBS volume

105
00:03:57,880 --> 00:03:59,260
or you could wait a day if you wanted to see

106
00:03:59,260 --> 00:04:01,310
if the backups work, obviously.

107
00:04:01,310 --> 00:04:02,590
And then when you're done,

108
00:04:02,590 --> 00:04:04,890
you take the assignment and you Delete it.

109
00:04:04,890 --> 00:04:08,683
So type the name of the assignment in here.

110
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:12,260
And then for the daily backup rules,

111
00:04:12,260 --> 00:04:14,840
we can Delete them or delete directly the backup plan.

112
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,440
And for this, just enter the name of the backup plan

113
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:19,031
and press Delete.

114
00:04:19,031 --> 00:04:19,865
And that's it.

115
00:04:19,865 --> 00:04:20,697
We've seen backups.

116
00:04:20,697 --> 00:04:21,531
I hope you liked it.

117
00:04:21,531 --> 00:04:23,200
And I will see you in the next lecture.
