# backup-recovery-point-manual-deletion-disabled


Checks if a backup vault has an attached resource-based policy which prevents deletion of recovery points. The rule is NON\$1COMPLIANT if the Backup Vault does not have resource-based policies or has policies without a suitable 'Deny' statement (statement with backup:DeleteRecoveryPoint, backup:UpdateRecoveryPointLifecycle, and backup:PutBackupVaultAccessPolicy permissions). 

**Note**  
**Wildcard required for `"Resource"` and `"Principal"` of the Deny statement**  
The rule requires that the `"Resource"` and `"Principal"` of the Deny statement must have a wildcard in the [vault access policy](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/aws-backup/latest/devguide/create-a-vault-access-policy.html). Otherwise, the rule returns NON\$1COMPLIANT.
