Amazon Backup automates policy-based backup and restore capabilities for Amazon FSx, making it easier for customers to meet enterprise compliance and data protection requirements. You can now create, manage, and restore Amazon FSx backups directly from the Amazon Backup console for both Amazon FSx for Windows File Server and Amazon FSx for Lustre. Using Amazon Backup, you apply backup plans to Amazon Web Services resources, which now include Amazon FSx file systems. Amazon Backup plans make it easy to standardize backup policies across Amazon Web Services services and ensure protection of application data.
Getting started is as simple as enabling Amazon FSx in the Amazon Backup console, creating a backup plan and assigning an Amazon FSx file system, either by tag or directly using the ARN.
