With #3182 we have backups enabled on all the homedir storage on AWS. I was initially worried about costs, but reading up about it I'm less concerned now. This is anyhow something that we should probably end up documenting, so I've summarized some learnings below.
To ensure consistent backups, we recommend that you pause applications or processes that are modifying the file system for the duration of the backup process. Or, schedule your backups to occur during periods when the file system is not being modified.
AWS Backup performs incremental backups of EFS file systems. During the initial backup, a copy of the entire file system is made. During subsequent backups of that file system, only files and directories that have been changed, added, or removed are copied. With each incremental backup, AWS Backup retains the necessary reference data to allow a full restore. This approach minimizes the time required to complete the backup and saves on storage costs by not duplicating data.
