How to Resolve Manually
To resolve this manually, we will need to head to the AWS Backup Dashboard within the AWS Console. Head to the subheading Backup Vaults and select one of your AWS Backup Vaults.
We will need to head to the Access Policy section and ensure that we attach a statement which will prevent the action backup:DeleteRecoveryPoint, but also on the scale of resources within this vault.
An example Access Policy has been included below to assist you with this.
The Policy Statement above will explicitly deny all principals from deleting all recovery points in the vault that this policy is attached to.
