DynamoDB API point-in-time backups enable

Question

I can't see an option to enable Point-in-Time backups for DynamoDB (using aws-sdk, more specifically, JavaScript).

Is there a way to to this programatically? Or is this a manual process only?

You have to use UpdateContinuousBackups API call. For JavaScript it is updateContinuousBackups, while for AWS CLI it is update-continuous-backups.

The call:

UpdateContinuousBackups enables or disables point in time recovery for the specified table.
