AWS Backup adds cross-Region and cross-account backup support for Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP

AWS Backup Feature Update

AWS Backup now supports copying Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP backups across AWS Regions and accounts. This feature allows you to copy your FSx for NetApp ONTAP backups to another AWS Region, another AWS account, or both, using policy-based backup plans or on-demand copy jobs.

Copying backups to a separate Region helps you meet cross-Region disaster recovery and business continuity goals, while copying to a separate account helps protect your backups from accidental deletion, operational error, or account compromise. AWS Backup manages these copies centrally, and you can automate them across your organization using AWS Organizations.

This capability is available in all commercial AWS Regions where both Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP and AWS Backup are available. To get started, visit the AWS Backup console, AWS Command Line Interface (CLI), or AWS SDKs.
