Amazon DynamoDB now supports configurable point-in-time-recovery periods

Amazon DynamoDB now supports a configurable period for point-in-time-recovery (PITR). You can specify the duration for data recoverability using PITR on a per-table basis, ranging from 1 to 35 days.

Point-in-time recovery (PITR) protects your DynamoDB data from accidental writes and deletes, allowing you to restore your data to any second within your recovery period. With this launch, a configurable backup recovery period can help you meet your compliance and regulatory requirements that necessitate shorter data recovery periods.

Point-in-time-recovery is now configurable in all AWS Regions, including the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions and the China Regions. You pay based on the table size that has point-in-time-recovery enabled. For details on pricing, see the DynamoDB pricing page. To get started, see the DynamoDB developer guide.
