I had set up an AWS backup plan which takes backup of our EC2 instances and EBS volumes. But for some reason it is not moving it to cold storage
Here is my backup plan:
Frequency Daily At 05:00 AM UTC
Start within 8 hours
Complete within 7 days
Lifecycle Transition to cold storage after 2 days
Expire after 95 days
For some reason, it is not moving to cold storage
Not sure what I am missing Any help is much appriciated
EDIT: So i have noticed that the backups are been removed from the vault(moved to cold storage) after 9 days. But I have mentioned in the backup plan to move it to cold storage in 2 days. I assume it takes 9 days because completewithin(7 days) + 2 days. Is this the case?
I don't believe transition to cold storage is supported for ec2/ebs - checkout the matrix (and the faq):
