Amazon FSx now supports copying file system backups across AWS opt-in Regions

AWS BackupAWS · Storage

Amazon FSx now supports copying file system backups across opt-in Regions (AWS Regions that are disabled by default) for Amazon FSx for Windows File Server, Amazon FSx for Lustre, and Amazon FSx for OpenZFS. This launch makes it easier for customers to meet business continuity, disaster recovery, and compliance requirements by extending cross-Region, cross-account backup and recovery capabilities beyond AWS Regions that are enabled by default.

Amazon FSx is a fully managed service that makes it easy and cost-effective to launch, run, and scale feature-rich, high-performance file systems in the AWS Cloud. Opt-in Regions are AWS Regions that are disabled by default, in contrast to regions that are enabled by default. Previously, customers could copy Amazon FSx file system backups across regions enabled by default, within the same AWS account or across AWS accounts in the same AWS Organization. Starting today, you can copy backups into and out of opt-in Regions within the same AWS account using the Amazon FSx console, API, or CLI, or across AWS accounts in the same AWS Organization using AWS Backup. This allows you to design resilient, multi-account, cross-Region backup and recovery architectures across a broader set of AWS Regions.

To get started, visit the Amazon FSx console or the AWS Backup console. For more details, see the Amazon FSx product page and the AWS Backup product page.
