    According to the documentation, you can use DescribeContineousBackupsRequest:

    Checks the status of continuous backups and point in time recovery on
    the specified table. Continuous backups are ENABLED on all tables at
    table creation. If point in time recovery is enabled,
    PointInTimeRecoveryStatus will be set to ENABLED.

    After continuous backups and point in time recovery are enabled, you
    can restore to any point in time within EarliestRestorableDateTime and
    LatestRestorableDateTime.

    LatestRestorableDateTime is typically 5 minutes before the current
    time. You can restore your table to any point in time during the last
    35 days.

    You can call DescribeContinuousBackups at a maximum rate of 10 times
    per second.

    https://docs.aws.amazon.com/amazondynamodb/latest/APIReference/API_DescribeContinuousBackups.html

    DescribeContinuousBackupsRequest backupsRequest =
                DescribeContinuousBackupsRequest
                        .builder()
                        .tableName("table")
                        .build();

        DescribeContinuousBackupsResponse backupsResponse = dbClient.describeContinuousBackups(backupsRequest);

        if(backupsResponse.continuousBackupsDescription().pointInTimeRecoveryDescription().pointInTimeRecoveryStatus().equals("DISABLED")) {

            result = "false";
            failReason = "Continuous Backup is not enabled for DynamoDB Tables."
                    + "DynamoDB table without backup can result in accidental data loss. Your AWS DynamoDB tables should make use of Point-in-time Recovery "
                    + "(PITR) feature in order to automatically take continuous backups of your DynamoDB data.";
            offenders.add("Table Name: " + tablesResponse.tableNames());

        }
