Cloud platforms like AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud are increasingly getting popular among e-commerce websites and web stores across the niches. Many leading e-commerce websites and stores are already using AWS platforms to their advantage. Even smaller web stores with the help of custom eCommerce solution services  are also gearing up to make their presence felt through cloud-based services. From Snapdeal to Amazon, every major player is already hooked up with cloud platforms and as the leading platform, AWS has the biggest share across enterprise websites and e-commerce stores.

Besides many other advantages that cloud platforms offer to websites and e-commerce stores, automated backup is one of the most important ones. AWS enjoys a clear edge over other cloud platforms thanks to its robust and pretty enterprise-minded backup automation tools. For example, the AWS EC2 backup comes as a very easy to use solution and is great for the servers as well as the client-side apps.

If you have an e-commerce store you already know the robust features of the AWS platform to transform your shopping experience. Implementing the automated backup feature of AWS requires knowing the building blocks of the process and corresponding stages. Let’s have a look at them.

• Amazon EFS

The AWS backup feature actually integrates with EFS as a native feature, the I/O operations carried out by the AWS backup will not face the constraints of the mode limits of EFS. The best thing is, the automated backup even can help to transition the entire file system of EFS to a low-cost storage option.

• Using AWS Backup with Other AWS Services

Apart from taking automated backup of the EFS files, the automated AWS Backup can also work great with multiple AWS services and protocols such as EBS, RDS, DynamoDB and Storage Gateway, the best thing is, using this automated backup option doesn’t require any additional cost. Your e-commerce store continues to pay the same to restore cost and snapshot storage for these services.
