Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.

Easily recover machines and ensure quick recovery after ransomware events
What is our primary use case?
I use the product for backing up all data for EC2 instances as well as FSX volumes.
How has it helped my organization?
The ease of use is the biggest advantage. It is simple to recover a whole machine, a volume, or just a file from a specific volume.
It is very simple and easy to use.
What is most valuable?
Being able to easily restore machines is a valuable feature. We had a ransomware event in 2023, and we were able to recover every machine with minimal effort.
This ensured we got up and running quickly.
What needs improvement?
The reporting engine could be easier to use, but it does a good enough job for what is needed.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have used the solution for 5 years.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I did not use any previous solutions before this.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The pricing is very reasonable for what the product can do.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
We looked at AWS Backup, but it does not have the level of flexibility and simplicity of N2WS.
What other advice do I have?
This is a product worth using. It is simple and does what it says on the box very well.
It is set and forget backup and disaster recovery.
If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?
Backup process and monitoring become simple and effective while seamless instance recovery and cost optimization ensure business continuity
What is our primary use case?
I use N2WS to back up EC2Â instances as well as VPC.
How has it helped my organization?
N2WS is a perfect backup solution for AWSÂ EC2Â instances and VPC backups. It has made our backup process and monitoring simple and effective.
What is most valuable?
Policy creation is straightforward, with automatic backups of new resources enabled through tagging. Instance recovery is seamless, whether within the same VPC or across different VPCs.
File-level restores are intuitive and easy to manage, while full VPC backups provide critical protection and peace of mind in the event of a disaster. In addition, lifecycle management and automated transitions to lower-cost storage tiers have been instrumental in optimizing costs while meeting compliance and retention requirements.
The ability to create immutable backups further strengthens our business continuity strategy by ensuring an additional layer of protection against accidental or malicious data loss.
What needs improvement?
Improved disaster recovery options and expanded multicloud support are two areas where N2WS has already made significant advancements in the latest version. I am eager to upgrade and take full advantage of these enhancements.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have used the solution for 6 years.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I previously used native AWS Backup , but N2WS provided me with a better platform and features.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I believe N2WS offers a highly competitive pricing model, delivering excellent value. It is certainly a worthwhile investment, providing a strong return on investment (ROI).
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
Aside from native AWS Backup , I did not evaluate other cloud backup vendors. N2WS came highly recommended, and I am confident in my decision to select them as our backup and recovery solution. As it turns out, it was one of the best decisions for the organization.
What other advice do I have?
N2WS is a powerful solution with a rich set of features designed to address even the most complex backup and disaster recovery requirements. I have tested it across multiple recovery scenarios, and it has consistently delivered as promised.
I am excited to explore the new features as the platform continues to expand its capabilities. In today’s world, where data protection is more critical than ever, N2WS provides the reliability and confidence I need.
