Optimize your AWS Backup costs with these tips

Use Data Life Cycles

Using an efficient tagging strategy, you can make sure you only backup what you need. You can make sure that backup retention is automatically set using Data Life Cycles. I suggest creating two backup plans one for UAT environments and one for production environments, with different retention settings.

Consider Service Costs

Some services have cheaper backup costs than others. For instance, backing up an Aurora Cluster is four times cheaper than backing up a RDS Database. This might mean that you need to switch services to get better backup costs. Factor both the storage and the restore price into your calculations.
