Data Recovery
In various disaster recovery scenarios, you can perform the following restore operations using backed-up data:
- Restore of EC2 Instances — restore EC2 instances from cloud-native snapshots or image-level backups to original or to a new location.
- Restore of RDS resources — restore DB instances and Aurora DB clusters from cloud-native snapshots to the original location or to a new location.
- Restore of EFS file systems — restore entire file systems from backups to the original location or to a new location.
- Restore of VPC configurations — restore VPC configurations from VPC configuration backups to the original or to a new location.
- Instant Recovery — immediately restore EC2 instances from image-level backups to VMware vSphere and Hyper-V environments, and to Nutanix AHV clusters.
- EC2 instance disk export — restore volume disks and convert them to disks of the VMDK, VHD or VHDX format.
- Restore to Microsoft Azure — restore EC2 instances from image-level backups to Microsoft Azure as Azure VMs.
- Restore to Google Cloud — restore EC2 instances from image-level backups to Google Cloud as VM instances.
- Restore to Nutanix AHV — restore EC2 instances from image-level backups to Nutanix AHV as Nutanix AHV VMs.
Note |
You can use restore points stored in standard repositories to perform all the listed recovery operations, while restore points stored in archive repositories can only be used to perform restore of EC2 to the original or to a new location. |
