Backup and restore
Protect your data from physical and logical errors, such as system failure, application error, or accidental deletion.
Public sector organizations need to ensure their cloud workloads are always available. To protect against data errors, organizations need a reliable, easy-to-use backup solution that allows instant recovery. Backup and recovery solutions that integrate with Amazon Web Services (AWS) storage services offer secure, efficient, and cost-effective backup and restore capabilities. These solutions provide a way for customers to easily implement AWS best practices, while reducing costs and complexity.

N2WS
N2WS Backup and Recovery leverages native AWS snapshot technology to fully automate backup of Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) volumes, Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) instances, Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS), Amazon Aurora, Amazon Redshift, Amazon DynamoDB, Amazon Elastic File System (EFS) and Amazon FSx. N2WS provides one-click disaster recovery to restore a single file or your entire environment in 30 seconds. Backups are application-consistent to ensure proper restore of databases.
N2WS Backup and Recovery features include:
- Application-consistent backups of your critical data: Eliminate the need for maintenance windows and unnecessary downtime.
- Recovery scenarios: Orchestrate recovery for multiple resources, schedule DR drills and test recovery configurations.
- Near-instant recovery time: Recover entire EC2 instances across accounts or regions within 30 seconds using incremental snapshot technology and create disaster recovery sites around the world. Rapidly recover single files without having to restore the entire instance.
- Low-cost data archiving: Lifecycle Amazon EBS snapshots and individual volumes to Amazon Simple Storage Service for long term retention and cost-savings of up to 60%.
- VPC capture and clone: Automate regular backups of VPC settings and clone to other regions in one click.
- Easy-to-use interface with real-time alerts: Get reporting and integration with other services via the N2WS CLI and RESTful API. N2WS is also designed for multi-tenancy, allowing you to manage multiple accounts from one console.
N2WS case study
Founded in 1842, the University of Notre Dame is steeped in history. With 240 IT staff, 6,000 employees, and 12,000 students, the school depends heavily on its Office of Information Technologies (OIT) to keep its operational systems up and running.
Any system fail would result in weeks spent recovering data, requiring 12-hour shifts and taking focus away from more strategic projects. Therefore, the OIT decided to migrate to AWS, utilizing N2WS Cloud Protection Manager to restore Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances in seconds by recovering snapshots stored in Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3).
By adopting data protection from N2WS and AWS, the University of Notre Dame has paved the way for cloud-first practices, with over 80% of its IT systems in the cloud. By maintaining consistent uptime, the university protects its students from educational disruption, allows teachers to access their online materials, and saves IT staff 25% of their valuable time.
With N2WS in place, backup administrators are available to concentrate on other cloud projects.

Clumio case study
Point Loma Nazarene University wanted: Quick and efficient recovery in the event of a ransomware attack or other data crisis; To contain or reduce the cost of backing up their data; A true air gap between their production data and backup data. After implementation, PLNU realized an 83% decrease in RTO, saved money year over year, and enjoyed simpler management, saving infrastructure teams time.
While one of our biggest concerns going in was budget, we certainly had hoped to find a solution that provided more than just an economical solution. We quickly realized that Clumio fit all of the categories we were hoping for and more.
