-## Opt in to managing services with AWS Backup
-
-When new AWS services become available, you must enable AWS Backup to use those services. If you try to create an on-demand backup or backup plan using resources from a service that is not enabled, you receive an error message and cannot complete the process.
-
-The AWS Backup console has two ways to include resource types in a backup plan: explicitly assign the resource type in a backup plan or include all resources. See the points below to understand how these selections work with service opt ins.
-
-  * If resource assignments are only based on tags, then service opt-in settings are applied.
-
-  * If a resource type is explicitly assigned to a backup plan, it will be included in the backup even if the opt-in is not enabled for that particular service. This does not apply to Aurora, Neptune, and Amazon DocumentDB. For these services to be included, the opt-in must be enabled.
-
-  * If both resource type and tags are specified in a resource assignment, the specified resource types are filtered first, then tags further filter those resources.
-
-Service opt-in settings are ignored for most resource types. However Aurora, Neptune, and Amazon DocumentDB require service opt-in.
-
-  * For Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP, when using tag-based resource selection, apply tags to individual volumes instead of the whole file system.

-
-Service opt-in settings are specific to a Region. When an account uses AWS Backup (creates a backup vault or backup plan) in a Region, the account automatically is opted into all resource types supported by AWS Backup in the Region at that time. Supported services added to that Region at a later date will not be automatically included in a backup plan. You can choose to opt into those resource types once they become supported.

-###### To configure the services used with AWS Backup
-
-  1. Open the AWS Backup console at [https://console.aws.amazon.com/backup](https://console.aws.amazon.com/backup).
-
-  2. In the navigation pane, choose **Settings**.
-
-  3. On the **Service opt-in** page, choose **Configure resources**.
-
-  4. Use the toggle switches to enable or disable the services used with AWS Backup.
-
-###### Important
-
-RDS, Aurora, Neptune, and DocumentDB share the same Amazon Resource Name (ARN). Opting in to manage one of these resource types with AWS Backup opts in to all of them when assigning it to a backup plan. Regardless, we recommend you opt in all of them to accurately represent your opt-in status.
-
-  5. Choose **Confirm**.
