# DynamoDB Backup

DynamoDB Backup in AWS provides information about on-demand and continuous backups of DynamoDB tables. It allows you to view details such as backup creation time, status, size, and the table it was created from. This helps ensure data protection, point-in-time recovery, and compliance by enabling you to restore tables to a specific state when needed.
