Check for Protected Amazon Backup Resource Types

01 Sign in to your Trend Cloud One™ – Conformity account, access Check for Protected Amazon Backup Resource Types conformity rule settings and identify the resource types protected by Amazon Backup within the selected region.

02 Sign in to AWS Management Console.

03 Navigate to Amazon Backup console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/backup/.

04 Select the AWS cloud region that you want to access from the console navigation bar.

05 In the left navigation panel, under My account, choose Settings to access the configuration settings available for Amazon Backup in the selected AWS region.

06 On the Settings page, in the Service opt-in section, check the Status column to determine the configuration status of each resource type supported by Amazon Backup service. Compare the list with the resource types protected by Amazon Backup (i.e. Status set to Enabled) in the selected region with the one identified at step no. 1. If the list of protected AWS resource types is different than the one defined in the conformity rule settings, the Amazon Backup configuration for protected resource types is not compliant within the selected AWS region.

07 Change the AWS region from the console navigation bar and repeat steps no. 4 – 6 to verify the Amazon Backup protected resource type configuration for other cloud regions.

01 Sign in to your Trend Cloud One™ – Conformity account, access Check for Protected Amazon Backup Resource Types conformity rule settings and identify the resource types protected by Amazon Backup within the selected region.

02 Run describe-region-settings command (OSX/Linux/UNIX) to describe Amazon Backup resource type configuration settings available for the specified region. If the boolean value of a supported AWS cloud service is set to true, Amazon Backup protect that service's resources in the selected region when included in an on-demand backup or scheduled backup plan. If the value is set to false, Amazon Backup does not protect that service's resources in the selected region:

aws backup describe-region-settings
  --region us-east-1
  --query 'ResourceTypeOptInPreference'

03 The command output should return the requested configuration information:

{
  "RDS": false,
  "Aurora": false,
  "EFS": false,
  "Storage Gateway": false,
  "DynamoDB": false,
  "EC2": false,
  "EBS": false
}

04 Change the AWS region by updating the --region command parameter value and repeat step no. 2 and 3 to verify the Amazon Backup protected resource type configuration for other regions.

01 Sign in to your Trend Cloud One™ – Conformity account, access Check for Protected Amazon Backup Resource Types conformity rule settings and note the resource types protected by Amazon Backup within the selected region.

02 Sign in to AWS Management Console.

aws backup update-region-settings
  --region us-east-1
  --resource-type-opt-in-preference EC2=true,RDS=true,EBS=true,EFS=false,Aurora=false,DynamoDB=false

03 Change the AWS region by updating the --region command parameter value and repeat step no. 2 to update the Amazon Backup protected resource type configuration in other AWS cloud regions.
