DynamoDB Backup

A DynamoDB Backup represents a point-in-time, fully-managed snapshot of an Amazon DynamoDB table, including all of its data and global secondary indexes. Back-ups can be created on demand or retained automatically through continuous point-in-time recovery (PITR). They allow you to restore the table to any state within the retention window, or to clone the data into a new table in the same or another region for testing and disaster-recovery purposes. For further details, see the official AWS documentation: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/amazondynamodb/latest/developerguide/BackupRestore.html

Supported Methods​

  • GET
  • LIST: List all DynamoDB backups
  • SEARCH: Search for a DynamoDB backup by table name

dynamodb-table​

Each backup is intrinsically tied to the table from which it was taken; Overmind therefore links a dynamodb-backup item to its source dynamodb-table so you can trace data-protection coverage, understand restore scopes, and assess the blast radius of table changes or deletions.
