AWS Backup adds restore testing support for Amazon Redshift, enabling automated and periodic backup restoration tests to confirm successful restores and measure recovery times.

  • Include Amazon Redshift in restore testing plans alongside other AWS resources
  • Automatically select recovery points and run restores on a schedule
  • Measure restore job completion time against recovery time objectives (RTO)
  • Create restore testing plans by assigning resources via ARN or tag
  • Choose to restore latest or random eligible recovery points
  • Optionally validate restored resources before AWS Backup deletes test resources
  • Available in all AWS Regions supporting both restore testing and Amazon Redshift
  • Access via AWS Backup console, CLI, or SDKs

This feature helps organizations evaluate disaster recovery readiness and meet regulatory compliance requirements for business continuity.
