AWS Backup adds cross-Region backup copy and logically air-gapped vault support for Amazon DocumentDB in nine additional AWS Regions

AWS Backup Updates

AWS Backup now supports copying Amazon DocumentDB backups across AWS Regions and storing them in logically air-gapped vaults in nine additional AWS Regions: Asia Pacific (Hong Kong, Jakarta, Melbourne, Osaka), Europe (Spain, Stockholm, Zurich), Africa (Cape Town), and Israel (Tel Aviv).

With cross-Region copy now available in these Regions, you can copy DocumentDB backups into and out of them using backup plans or on-demand copy jobs. This helps you meet disaster recovery, business continuity, and compliance requirements.

You can also copy DocumentDB backups to a logically air-gapped vault in these Regions to store immutable, isolated backups that are locked by default and encrypted using AWS owned or customer-managed keys. Share vaults for recovery using AWS Resource Access Manager (RAM) and protect vault access during account compromise with Multi-party approval, reducing recovery time from a data loss event.

What to do

• Visit the AWS Backup console, AWS Command Line Interface (CLI), or AWS SDKs to get started.
• Check the AWS Backup documentation for a complete list of supported Regions and features.
• Learn more about logically air-gapped vaults on the product page and pricing page.
