AWS Backup adds logically air-gapped vault support for Amazon FSx

Today, we are announcing the availability of AWS Backup logically air-gapped vault support for Amazon FSx for Lustre, Amazon FSx for Windows File Server, and Amazon FSx for OpenZFS. Logically air-gapped vault is a type of AWS Backup vault that allows secure sharing of backups across accounts and organizations, supporting direct restore to reduce recovery time from a data loss event. A logically air-gapped vault stores immutable backup copies that are locked by default, and isolated with encryption using AWS owned keys. You can now protect your Amazon FSx file system in logically air-gapped vaults in either the same account or across other accounts and Regions. This helps reduce the risk of downtime, ensure business continuity, and meet compliance and disaster recovery requirements. You can get started using the [AWS Backup console](https://console.aws.amazon.com/backup/home), API, or CLI. Target Amazon FSx backups to a logically air-gapped vault by specifying it as a copy destination in your backup plan. Share the vault for recovery or restore testing with other accounts using [AWS Resource Access Manager](https://aws.amazon.com/ram/) (RAM). Once shared, you can initiate direct restore jobs from that account, eliminating the overhead of copying backups first. AWS Backup support for the three Amazon FSx file systems is available in all the Regions where logically air-gapped vault and respective Amazon FSx file systems are supported.
