AWS Backup Restore Testing Now Available in Additional Regions

AWS Backup restore testing is now available in six additional AWS Regions: Asia Pacific (Taipei), Asia Pacific (Malaysia), Asia Pacific (New Zealand), Asia Pacific (Thailand), Mexico (Central), and Canada West (Calgary).

Restore testing helps you automate and periodically run restore tests of supported AWS resources across storage, compute, and database services. You can create restore testing plans that automatically select recovery points, run restores on a schedule, and measure restore job completion time against your recovery time objectives (RTO). This helps you evaluate recovery readiness and meet regulatory and compliance requirements for disaster recovery and business continuity.
