Nice. Couple of nits.

For added reliability, you can enable cross-region backup. In this case, you have two identical backups of your $SERVICE_SHORT at any time, but one of them is in a different AWS region.

For added reliability, enable cross-region backup. This protects your data when an entire AWS region goes down. Cross-region backups are identical replicas of your $SERVICE_SHORT, but one of them is in a different AWS region. You can have one cross-region backup for a $SERVICE_SHORT.

Cross-region backups are identical replicas of your $SERVICE_SHORT, but one of them is in a different AWS region --> this reads like you have multiple cross-region backups per service, which is not the case. Also I wanted to clarify that you don't create cross-region backup once and it stays the same - it gets updated daily and weekly just like the regular backup, so at any point in time you have two identical ones - cross and same-region.
