  • Create cloud-native snapshots of EC2 instances and RDS resources (DB instances and Amazon Aurora DB clusters).
  • Replicate cloud-native snapshots to any AWS Region within any AWS account.
  • Create image-level backups of EC2 instances and keep them in Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) for high availability, cost-effective and long-term storage.
  • Create cloud-native backups of EFS file systems and store them in any backup vault in the source AWS Region.
  • Create backup copies of EFS file systems and store them in any AWS Region within the same AWS account.
  • Create backups of VPC configurations.
  • Restore entire EC2 instances, EC2 instance volumes, as well as EC2 instance files and folders.
