AWS aws-backup documentation change

Service: aws-backup · 2025-11-19 · Documentation low

File: aws-backup/latest/devguide/security-iam-awsmanpol.md

Summary

Updated policy documentation to reference 'CloudFormation' instead of 'AWS CloudFormation' in backup/restore permissions

Security assessment

Terminology update in existing IAM policy documentation. The actual permissions (cloudformation:GetTemplate, CreateChangeSet etc.) remain unchanged - only service name references were modified.
