Point in time (PIT) policy
AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery allows you to select the number of days for which point
in time snapshots will be retained through the Point in time
(PIT) policy field.
You can select to save PIT snapshots for 1 up to 365 days. Saving PIT snapshots
for more days will allow you more recovery options, but will also result in
increased costs. Learn more about Point in
