In this post, I discuss enabling AWS Backup notifications by using Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) and the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI). The ability to get notifications on job status can enhance the efficiency and efficacy of compliance and operational procedures. Failed backups, restores, and copy jobs can negatively affect workflows and SLAs.


Awareness of backup and restore job status is critical to ensure that your protection plan is executed according to service-level agreements (SLAs) and meets your compliance requirements. The ability to protect your data and IT infrastructure against cyber-attacks, accidental deletion, natural disasters, and several other threats is essential to secure your business.Īn important aspect to protecting your assets is the ability to monitor backup, restore, and copy jobs. Your data and applications are some of the most valuable assets in your company.
