AWS Backup Now Supports Amazon FSx Intelligent-Tiering

AWS Backup now supports Amazon FSx Intelligent-Tiering, a storage class that offers fully elastic file storage, automatically scaling with your workloads. This integration is available for FSx for Lustre and Amazon FSx for OpenZFS file systems, combining performance, pay-for-what-you-use elasticity, and automated cost optimization.

Customers with existing backup plans for Amazon FSx do not need to make any changes, as all scheduled backups will continue to work as expected.

AWS Backup support is available in all AWS Regions where FSx Intelligent Tiering is available. For a full list of supported Regions, refer to the region availability documentation for Amazon FSx for OpenZFS and Amazon FSx for Lustre.
