How Backup Works
Veeam Data Cloud for AWS uses the AWS Backup service to create a cloud-native backup of a DynamoDB table and saves this backup to a backup vault in the same AWS Region in which the source table resides. The backup is assigned AWS tags upon creation. Keys and values of AWS tags contain encrypted metadata that helps Veeam Data Cloud for AWS identify the related table backup.
