ListBackups

List DynamoDB backups that are associated with an AWS account and weren't made with AWS Backup. To list these backups for a given table, specify TableName. ListBackups returns a paginated list of results with at most 1 MB worth of items in a page. You can also specify a maximum number of entries to be returned in a page.

In the request, start time is inclusive, but end time is exclusive. Note that these boundaries are for the time at which the original backup was requested.

You can call ListBackups a maximum of five times per second.

If you want to retrieve the complete list of backups made with AWS Backup, use the AWS Backup list API.
