Personally I don't like AWS, too confusing cost calculation. See my other comment, I ended up using a cron job running mysqldump, upload to Backblaze B2 for backups (10GB free), healthchecks.io for monitoring the cron job (free) and notifications.
For the first part have a look at automysqlbackup (it's packaged for Debian) . It also can notify on errors. Quick search gave me this fork: https://github.com/sixhop/AutoMySQLBackup Uploading to remote storage can be accomplished with restic (restic.net)
Maybe autorestic or rclone.
