Table: aws_backup_vault - Query AWS Backup Vaults using SQL

The AWS Backup Vault is a secured place where AWS Backup stores backup data. It provides a scalable, fully managed, policy-based resource for managing and protecting data across AWS services. It is designed to simplify data protection, enable regulatory compliance, and save costs by eliminating the need to create and manage custom scripts and manual processes.

Table Usage Guide

The aws_backup_vault table in Steampipe provides you with information about backup vaults within AWS Backup. This table allows you, as a DevOps engineer, to query vault-specific details, including the vault name, ARN, number of recovery points, and associated metadata. You can utilize this table to gather insights on backup vaults, such as the number of recovery points for each vault, the creation date of each vault, and more. The schema outlines the various attributes of the backup vault for you, including the vault name, ARN, creation date, last resource backup time, and associated tags.

Examples

Basic Info

Uncover the details of your AWS backup vaults, including their names, unique identifiers, and the dates they were created. This can be particularly useful for auditing purposes, allowing you to keep track of your resources and their creation timelines.

select
name,
arn,
creation_date
from
aws_backup_vault;
select
name,
arn,
creation_date
from
aws_backup_vault;

List vaults older than 90 days

Identify backup vaults that have been established for over 90 days. This can be beneficial in assessing long-standing storage resources that may require maintenance or review.

select
name,
arn,
creation_date
from
aws_backup_vault
where
creation_date <= (current_date - interval '90' day)
order by
creation_date;
select
name,
arn,
creation_date
from
aws_backup_vault
where
creation_date <= date('now', '-90 day')
order by
creation_date;

List vaults that do not prevent the deletion of backups in the backup vault

Determine the areas in which your backup vaults may be at risk, specifically those that do not have policies in place to prevent the deletion of backups. This query is useful in identifying potential vulnerabilities and ensuring the safety of your data.

select
name
from
aws_backup_vault,
jsonb_array_elements(policy -> 'Statement') as s
where
s ->> 'Principal' = '*'
and s ->> 'Effect' != 'Deny'
and s ->> 'Action' like '%DeleteBackupVault%';
select
name
from
aws_backup_vault
where
json_extract(policy, '$.Statement[*].Principal') = '*'
and json_extract(policy, '$.Statement[*].Effect') != 'Deny'
and json_extract(policy, '$.Statement[*].Action') like '%DeleteBackupVault%';

List policy details for backup vaults

Determine the areas in which your AWS backup vault policies are applied. This helps in understanding the security measures in place for your backup vaults, assisting in maintaining data integrity and safety.

select
name,
jsonb_pretty(policy) as policy,
jsonb_pretty(policy_std) as policy_std
from
aws_backup_vault;
select
name,
policy,
policy_std
from
aws_backup_vault;

Export

This table is available as a standalone Exporter CLI. Steampipe exporters are stand-alone binaries that allow you to extract data using Steampipe plugins without a database.

You can download the tarball for your platform from the Releases page, but it is simplest to install them with the steampipe_export_installer.sh script:

/bin/sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://steampipe.io/install/export.sh)" -- aws

You can pass the configuration to the command with the --config argument:

steampipe_export_aws --config '<your_config>' aws_backup_vault
