    In RDS, backup is turned on by default. You need to setup the retention based on your use-case.

    This is a tricky question because you can set automatic backups up to 35 days. If you want to access some older backups (older than 35 days), you need to take snapshots.
    Nevertheless, the question looks like it’s from AWS certification, so it’s better to know what answer AWS wants (generally the customer is responsible for backing up).
    It depends on what we consider as a ‘backup’ – literally (AWS – because they are responsible for making it and it’s obligatory) or in a wider sense (both AWS & Customer – because they are making backups but you need to decide how often eg. 1-35 days and make occasional snapshots, if needed).
