Amazon DynamoDB now supports a configurable period for point-in-time-recovery (PITR). You can specify the duration for data recoverability using PITR on a per-table basis, ranging from 1 to 35 days.  

Point-in-time recovery (PITR) protects your DynamoDB data from accidental writes and deletes, allowing you to restore your data to any second within your recovery period. With this launch, a configurable backup recovery period can help you meet your compliance and regulatory requirements that necessitate shorter data recovery periods.

Point-in-time-recovery is now configurable in all Amazon Web Services commercial Regions, including the Amazon Web Services China (Beijing) Region, operated by Sinnet, and the Amazon Web Services China (Ningxia) Region, operated by NWCD. You pay based on the table size that has point-in-time-recovery enabled. For details on pricing, see the DynamoDB pricing page. To get started, see the DynamoDB developer guide.
