Back up wide column data in your Tablestore instances and restore it promptly if data is lost or damaged due to accidental deletion or malicious tampering.
Feature overview

You can use data backup for disaster recovery, recovery from accidental deletion or malicious tampering, data versioning, legal and compliance requirements, and data migration.
