AWS Backup, a cost-effective, fully managed, policy-based service that further simplifies data protection at scale, is now available in the AWS Asia Pacific (Osaka) Region. With AWS Backup, you can centralize and automate data protection across AWS services and accounts, to support your regulatory compliance obligations and meet your business continuity goals.

Together with AWS Organizations, AWS Backup enables you to centrally deploy data protection (backup) policies to configure, manage, and govern your backup activity across your organization’s AWS accounts and resources, including HAQM Elastic Compute Cloud (HAQM EC2) instances, HAQM Elastic Block Store (HAQM EBS) volumes, HAQM Relational Database Service (HAQM RDS) databases (including HAQM Aurora clusters), HAQM DynamoDB tables, and HAQM Elastic File System (EFS).

For more information on where AWS Backup is available, see the AWS Regional Services List. Note that AWS Backup for AWS Storage Gateway volumes, HAQM FSx for Lustre, and HAQM FSx for Windows File Server are currently not supported in the AWS Asia Pacific (Osaka) Region. Also, the cross-account backup feature is currently not supported in the AWS Asia Pacific (Osaka) Region. To learn more about AWS Backup, visit the AWS Backup product page and documentation.
