Planning for the protection of Amazon DynamoDB includes verifying that your environment meets the system requirements, reviewing the permission requirements, configuring the instances, and then performing a test backup and a restore.
-
Verify the following about your environment:
-
For access node, you can bring your own access nodes or use hosted infrastructure.
-
Access nodes: Add a Windows or Linux file server as an access node with Virtual Server Agent and cloud apps packages installed. For more information on additional server, see Adding an Additional Server.
-
Hosted infrastructure: Configure the Managed Service Provider (MSP) environment.
-
-
If there is a need to add multiple tables from the same region, consider creating table groups. For more information, see Creating a Table Group.
- For information on optimizing backup performance, see Optimizing the Backup Performance for a DynamoDB Table Group.
-
Perform a Test Backup and Restore.
-
Your first full backup is automatically scheduled based on the assigned backup plan. To perform a manual backup, see backing up a DynamoDB database instance.
-
After the backup operation is complete, you can perform a restore of one or more tables.
