DynamoDB tables should have point-in-time recovery enabled
Checks that point-in-time recovery (PITR) is turned on for the DynamoDB table. PITR backs the table up continuously, so after an accidental write or delete it can be restored to any point in its recovery period (up to the last 35 days); a restore always creates a new table.
