AWS Backup adds Amazon Redshift Serverless and Aurora DSQL support for AWS Organizations backup policies

Posted on: Apr 21, 2026

AWS Backup now supports Amazon Redshift Serverless namespaces and Amazon Aurora DSQL clusters as resource types in AWS Organizations backup policies. Organization administrators can now define backup policy rules that directly target these resource types across member accounts.

Previously, backing up Redshift Serverless namespaces and Aurora DSQL clusters through organization backup policies required using tag-based selections or backing up all resources in a member account. With this launch, administrators can specify these resource types directly in their backup policy selections, providing more precise control over which resources are included in or excluded from Organization-wide backup plans.

This capability is available in all AWS Commercial and GovCloud Regions where AWS Backup and the respective services are available. To get started, visit the AWS Organizations backup policies documentation or the AWS Backup console.
