AWS aws-backup documentation change
Summary
Expanded recovery point status documentation with new states (CREATING, AVAILABLE) and reorganized explanations
Security assessment
The update clarifies security-adjacent scenarios (e.g., EXPIRED status due to permission issues preventing deletion) but does not directly resolve a security flaw. It improves awareness of backup state implications, aiding secure lifecycle management.
