Protect valuable data by enforcing a regular backup schedule.

Retain backups as required by auditors or internal compliance.

Reduce storage costs by deleting outdated backups.

Combined with the monitoring features of Amazon CloudWatch Events and AWS CloudTrail, Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager provides a complete backup solution for EBS volumes at no additional cost.
