Backup vaults

In Amazon Backup, a backup vault is a container that stores and organizes your backups.

When creating a backup vault, you must specify the Amazon Key Management Service (Amazon KMS) encryption key that encrypts some of the backups placed in this vault. Encryption for other backups is managed by their source Amazon services. For more information about encryption, see the chart in Encryption for backups in Amazon.
