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

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.

To get started, visit the AWS Backup console, AWS Command Line Interface (CLI), or AWS SDKs. For a complete list of supported Regions and features, visit the AWS Backup documentation. To learn more about logically air-gapped vaults, visit the product page and pricing page.
