The use case for AWS Backup is the same as Azure. The only difference is the customer's choice and preference. AWS Backup is primarily meant for customers with workloads on AWS or using cloud-native applications. This is the most common use case, accounting for about 70% of users. It is also a good solution for customers with a hybrid on-premises environment and highly scalable data. Traditional storage solutions, such as Spectrum Protect, can be difficult to scale down dynamically. With AWS Backup, customers pay as per their consumption, so they only pay for what they use. Another advantage of AWS Backup is that customers can choose the storage tiering for their data. They can store different types of data for different lengths, depending on how often it is accessed and how quickly it needs to be retrieved. This can help customers to save money on their storage costs.

We are a solution provider and we use AWS Backup for our customers' companies. We typically install this product on-premises, although it is easy to extend as a center in the cloud. Many our of customers are multi-cloud, using cloud provides such as Azure, AWS, and Google.

We use it for server backup, which is done weekly. I'm also using AWS for QuickSight. It's been about four months since I'm using it for some statistical analysis. I'm still on that project, which is also AWS.

We bought it as a service and deployed it. We use it to define each of our instances that we back up like the backup policy and the retention policy.

We are services vendor for AWS and this is one of the solutions that we implement for our clients. A project that I recently worked on involved a storage gateway and AWS Backup was used for backing up snapshots.

AWS is the primary platform that we use for our internal needs and we are trying to best use whatever comes with it. So far, we are happy with AWS and we have 30% or 40% of our workflows implemented there. For example, we are very big SAP users and we use SAP HANA on AWS. In the future, we expected almost everything to be in AWS, with perhaps 10% of our work in Azure. We use the AWS Backup as a service to perform native backups and recovery of files and other data. It is also our disaster recovery solution.
