AWS Backup now supports backing up and restoring Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP-based FlexVol and FlexGroup volumes. FlexVol volumes are logical storage volumes where data is stored, and FlexGroup volumes are collections of these FlexVol volumes. Both individual FlexVol volumes and FlexGroup volumes are important components of how customer data is stored, and the ability to have backup procedures for each is critical for protecting data.
You can now use the policy-based back up capabilities of AWS Backup to centralize and automate data protection for FSx for ONTAP-based FlexGroup volumes alongside other supported AWS services (spanning compute, storage, and databases) and hybrid workloads. Previously, customers could only protect FlexVol volumes using AWS Backup.
AWS Backup support for FSx for ONTAP-based FlexGroup volumes is available in all Regions where AWS Backup support for Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP is available.
