AWS re:Invent 2022 - Beyond 11 9s of durability: Data protection with Amazon S3 (STG338)

Amazon S3 is designed for 99.999999999% (11 9s) of durability, strong resiliency, and high availability. This makes S3 an ideal storage service for cloud-native applications, analytics, and machine learning. Strong data protection is nonnegotiable, and S3 durability is a natural fit. However, even the most durable storage cannot protect against unintended or accidental deletions. Additionally, ransomware events are a prime reason to evaluate additional protection for your critical data. Join this session to learn about S3 features that provide additional layers of protection, including S3 Versioning, S3 Cross-Region Replication (CRR), S3 Object Lock, and more, to make a safe place to store your data even safer in S3.

Excellent Video on S3 Buckets! I have a couple of questions:
1) Since AWS provides 99.99% durability for S3 by copying objects to multiple AZs, why do I need to do my own replication in the same region in case of Disaster Recovery or Failover?
I understand the need of S3 cross region replication in case of regional failure and we have to switch over to another region.
2) S3 is one storage type in AWS. What about EBS, EFS and FSx volumes replication? Don't we need this on the DR site or do you normally back those up locally to S3 bucket and replicate the S3.
3) How does S3 Backup differ than S3 replication service? Are not both copying object on the primary S3 bucket.
