VIEW RULE IN DATADOG VIEW MISCONFIGURATIONS

Description

This control verifies backtracking is enabled for an Amazon Aurora cluster. Backups are critical for rapid recovery from security incidents and enhance the resilience of your systems. Aurora backtracking reduces the time needed to revert a database to a previous point in time without necessitating a full database restore.

Remediation

To enable Aurora backtracking, refer to the Configuring backtracking section in the Amazon Aurora User Guide.

Please note that it is not possible to enable backtracking on an existing cluster. To accomplish this you will need to create a clone of the cluster with backtracking enabled. For more information on Aurora backtracking, see the Overview of backtracking section in the Amazon Aurora User Guide.
