What's New?
Amazon Aurora Backup
Amazon Aurora instances and clusters can be protected using flexible policy-based scheduling and lightning-fast database recovery to an exact point-in-time in just seconds to the original location or a new location. Amazon RDS snapshots also benefit from snapshot replication across AWS accounts and regions and protect yourself against outages caused by failures and disasters that affect the availability of instances that are in the same location.
Enhanced Amazon EFS Backup
Extend AWS-native backup and recovery options for Amazon Elastic File Systems (Amazon EFS) and benefit from the NEW enhanced file-level indexing option for quick and easy recoveries from any restores point in a matter of seconds**.
Configuration backup & restore
Veeam Backup for AWS can now create a backup of the full configuration on a backup repository. This allows for easy recovery when it is required to redeploy the Veeam Backup appliance from scratch, quick migration procedures, or testing.
