AWS Backup expands information in job APIs and Backup Audit Manager reports

AWS Backup now provides more details in backup job API responses and Backup Audit Manager reports to give you better visibility into backup configurations and compliance settings. You can verify your backup policies with a single API call.

List and Describe APIs for backup, copy, and restore jobs now return fields that required multiple API calls before. Delegated administrators can now view backup job details across their organization. Backup jobs APIs include retention settings, vault lock status, encryption details, and backup plan information like plan names, rule names, and schedules. Copy job APIs return destination vault configurations, vault type, lock state, and encryption settings. Restore job APIs show source resource details and vault access policies. Backup Audit Manager reports include new columns with vault type, lock status, encryption details, archive settings, and retention periods. You can use this information to enhance audit trails and verify compliance with data protection policies.

These expanded information fields are available today in all AWS Regions where AWS Backup and AWS Backup Audit Manager are supported, with no additional charges.
