AWS Backup for Amazon S3 now enables you to copy your Amazon S3 backups across AWS Regions and AWS accounts. With backups of Amazon S3 in multiple AWS Regions, you can maintain separable, protected copies of your backup data to help meet the compliance requirements for data protection and disaster recovery. In addition, backups across AWS accounts provide an additional layer of protection against inadvertent or unauthorized actions.
AWS Backup is a policy-based, fully managed, cost-effective solution that enables you to centralize and automate data protection across 15 AWS services (spanning compute, storage, and databases) and third-party applications. Together with AWS Organizations, AWS Backup enables you to centrally deploy policies to configure, manage, and govern your data protection activity. You can now use the AWS Backup console, API, or CLI to create copies of your Amazon S3 backups across AWS Regions and accounts as part of your backup plan schedule or on demand. Using your AWS Organizations management account, you can designate accounts in AWS Organizations as secondary backup accounts, allowing backups to be copied only to trusted accounts.
The ability to copy Amazon S3 backups across AWS Regions and accounts is available in the following Regions: US East (Ohio), US East (N. Virginia), US West (N. California), US West (Oregon), Asia Pacific (Mumbai), Asia Pacific (Osaka), Asia Pacific (Seoul), Asia Pacific (Singapore), Asia Pacific (Sydney), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), Canada (Central), Europe (Frankfurt), Europe (Ireland), Europe (London), Europe (Milan), Europe (Paris) and Europe (Stockholm) Regions.
