Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP now supports copying backups across Amazon Web Services Regions and accounts
Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP, a fully managed shared storage service built on NetApp's popular ONTAP file system, now supports copying backups within and across Amazon Web Service Regions, and across trusted accounts in your organization. You can now provide an additional layer of protection for your data by storing secondary backup copies in a different Region or account than your primary copies, making it easier to meet your business continuity, data protection, and compliance requirements.
Amazon FSx offers secure, highly durable, and incremental backups designed to support your data retention, archival, and compliance needs. Backups are point-in-time offline copies of your volumes, stored redundantly across multiple Availability Zones in the same Region as your file system. Previously, you could create and restore backups in the same region and account as your file system. Starting today, you can copy backup data to multiple Regions and accounts for enhanced resilience, data isolation, and operational flexibility.
You can copy new and existing backups of FSx for ONTAP in Amazon Web Services China (Beijing) Region, operated by Sinnet, and the Amazon Web Services China (Ningxia) Region, operated by NWCD. To learn more, visit the Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP web page.
