AWS Backup now supports backing up directly to a logically air-gapped vault

AWS Backup now supports logically air-gapped vaults as a primary backup target. You can assign a logically air-gapped vault as the primary target in backup plans, organization-wide policies, or on-demand backups. Previously, logically air-gapped vaults could only store copies of existing backups. This capability reduces storage costs for customers who want the security and recoverability benefits of logically air-gapped vaults. Organizations wanting those benefits can now back up directly to a logically air-gapped vault without storing multiple backups. Resource types that support full AWS Backup management back up directly to the specified air-gapped vault. For resource types without full management support, AWS Backup creates a temporary snapshot in a standard vault, copies it to the air-gapped vault, then removes the snapshot. This feature is available in all AWS Regions that [support logically air-gapped vaults](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/aws-backup/latest/devguide/backup-feature-availability.html#features-by-region). To get started, select a logically air-gapped vault as your primary backup target in the AWS Backup console, API, or CLI.
