E2E Networks database clusters have automated backups enabled

Service: databaseSeverity: medium

Categories:resilience
Resource Type:NotDefined

E2E Networks database clusters should have automated backups enabled so data can be restored after failures, corruption, or accidental deletion. Automated backups capture point-in-time copies of the cluster on a recurring schedule.

Risk

Database clusters without backups are vulnerable to permanent data loss from hardware failures, corruption, or accidental deletion, with no way to recover to a prior state.

Run
prowler e2enetworks --checks database_cluster_backup_enabled

Recommendation

Enable automated backups on every database cluster that does not currently have them configured, and validate that backups can be restored.
