Today, AWS Backup is announcing expanded regional coverage for cross-account management in the AWS GovCloud (US-East) and AWS GovCloud (US-West) Regions. Cross-account management helps customers manage and monitor backups across their AWS accounts with AWS Organizations.

With cross-account management in AWS Backup, customers can deploy an organization-wide backup policy using their AWS Organizations' management account, enable delegated administrator for backup operations, and help maintain compliance across all organizational accounts while reducing account management overhead. Cross-account management also provides customers with a central view of all their accounts in their organizations, enabling simple and direct identification of resources or accounts that have fallen out of data protection compliance. 

AWS Backup cross-account management is now available in US East (N Virginia, Ohio), US West (North California, Oregon), Asia Pacific (Mumbai, Osaka, Seoul, Singapore, Sydney, Tokyo), Canada (Central), Europe (Frankfurt, Ireland, London, Paris, Stockholm), South America (Sao Paulo), and the AWS GovCloud (US-East, US-West) Regions.
