Use the following steps in order to automate EC2 backup using EBS:

Get the list of instances and connect to AWS through API to list the Amazon EBS volumes that are attached locally to the instance.

List the snapshots of each volume, and assign a retention period of the snapshot. Later on, create a snapshot of each volume.

Make sure to remove the snapshot if it is older than the retention period.
