Explanation
AWS Backup is the correct answer because:
- AWS Backup is a fully managed backup service that makes it easy to centralize and automate the backup of data across AWS services
- It supports EC2 instances and EFS file systems natively
- Provides centralized backup management with minimal operational overhead
- Allows scheduling automated backups and managing backup policies in one place
Why other options are incorrect:
- AWS Config: This service is for tracking resource configuration changes and compliance, not for data backup
- Amazon Inspector: This is a security vulnerability assessment service, not for backup management
- Amazon S3: While S3 can store backup data, it doesn't provide the centralized backup management, scheduling, and automation capabilities that AWS Backup offers
AWS Backup provides the least operational effort because it's a fully managed service that handles the complexity of backup orchestration, retention management, and cross-service backup coordination automatically.
