Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP now supports copying backups across AWS Regions and accounts

Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP, a fully managed shared storage service built on NetApp’s popular ONTAP file system, now supports copying backups within and across AWS Regions, and across trusted accounts in your AWS organization. You can now provide an additional layer of protection for your data by storing secondary backup copies in a different Region or account than your primary copies, making it easier to meet your business continuity, data protection, and compliance requirements.
Amazon FSx offers secure, highly durable, and incremental backups designed to support your data retention, archival, and compliance needs. Backups are point-in-time offline copies of your volumes, stored redundantly across multiple Availability Zones in the same Region as your file system. Previously, you could create and restore backups in the same Region and account as your file system. Starting today, you can copy backup data to multiple Regions and accounts for enhanced resilience, data isolation, and operational flexibility.
You can copy new and existing backups in all AWS Regions where Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP is available. To learn more, visit the FSx for NetApp ONTAP user guide and the Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP product page.

AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery introduces Recovery Plans for orchestrated application recovery

AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery (AWS DRS) now offers Recovery Plans, a capability that automates the sequential launch of multi-server applications during recovery and drills. Instead of launching servers one at a time and tracking dependencies manually, you define the recovery sequence once and run it with a single action when you need it. This addresses a common challenge for customers running applications made up of databases, application tiers, and supporting services that must come up in a specific order.
Recovery Plans let you group servers into sequential steps with configurable wait times between them, so your application recovers predictably and consistently every time. You can run plans in a non-disruptive drill mode to validate your procedures, add approval steps where you want a person in the loop, and monitor progress in real time. This automation reduces recovery time and eliminates common errors that occur when coordinating server launch order during high-stress disaster scenarios.
Recovery Plans are available in all AWS Regions where AWS DRS is offered, at no additional cost beyond standard DRS usage. To learn more, visit the AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery User Guide.
