Managed OpenSearch Backups
Each Managed Database plan includes automated backups. The backup retention is set to either 1 day for single node plans and 3 or 7 days for all the multi-node plans.
OpenSearch® backups are taken every hour and every day. A restore brings back the data as it was at one of the stored backups, not at any point in time in between.
All backups are encrypted and stored separately from the database, so they don't use the cluster's storage capacity.
Where backups are stored
By design, backups are kept off-site, in another location in the same region as the database. This keeps them available even in the unlikely event that the database's whole location goes down. Databases in Singapore and Chicago are the exception: their backups are stored in the same location as the database.
