I second that it's important for any commercial application to have a solution to this problem. I am wondering why there isn't any activity on this? Is there another way that we don't know?

I would add functions to the list! Along with sound sound Disaster recovery design

I'll just add that having now tried to actually backup and restore a cognito instance it is actually almost impossible...

GeorgeBellTMH commented 1 year ago
  1. If you are restoring to a new instance there are all sorts of gotchas (including needing to setup SES, getting out of sandbox mode)
  2. The CSV import in cognito has no export function...
  3. The CSV import does not handle groups
  4. It seems to send an email to each user asking them to reset via pin...(which eventually fails if 1 is not complete)
  5. It's not clear when importing if there are setup problems with custom. fields or other associated setting differences

Backup doesn't seem to be available out of the box with cognito...so you are at the mercy of API's and non AWS developers....

I just published a blog in the AWS Storage channel last week that provides the definition for a CDK custom resource to setup backups with AWS Backup. Take a look and see if this solves for your need.
