AWS Backup increased support for Amazon FSx for Windows File Server, OpenZFS, and Lustre by enabling backup and restore operations in five additional regions including parts of Asia Pacific, Canada, and Mexico. This expansion facilitates centralized backup policy management closer to customers' locations.
Additionally, AWS Backup extended cross-region and cross-account copy of FSx backups to 14 regions, helping organizations meet compliance and continuity requirements. Backup data can also be secured in logically air-gapped vaults to protect against accidental or ransomware-related deletions.
