    Benefits of Building Backup & Restore Solutions on AWS

    Durability and Availability

    AWS object, block, and file storage services are built for optimal durability and availability so that you can access your data anytime, anywhere. Data is distributed across physical facilities within an AWS Region and data can be automatically replicated to another AWS Region. Our global reach enables backup & restore where you operate for business and compliance purposes..

    Flexibility and Scalability

    AWS offers the most flexible storage management features so that storage administrators can classify, report, and visualize data usage trends to reduce costs and improve service levels. AWS customers also have access to virtually unlimited capacity to accommodate growing data volumes. Scale consumption as needs change without administrative overhead or hardware procurement cycles.

    Cost Efficiencies

    Our pricing options offer the flexibility to effectively manage your costs and still maintain the performance and capacity your business requires. With AWS, you can quickly and easily rightsize your services, leverage Reserved and Spot Instances, and use pricing management tools to monitor costs so that you can always be on top of how much you are spending.


    Security

    AWS data center and network architecture is designed for organizations that must meet the most stringent security and compliance requirements. For maximum data protection, AWS object storage services offer encryption features such as service-side encryption, AWS KMS (to manage your own encryption keys), and AWS Cloud HSM (to generate, store, and manage cryptographic keys).

    Compliance

    AWS manages many security assurance programs, which means segments of your compliance are already completed. We also offer governance-focused features to satisfy a range of privacy and audit requirements. This level of protection helps highly-regulated organizations operate more securely on AWS than on-premises.




    Flexible Data Transfer

    AWS supports the widest range of options to move data into (or out of) the cloud. Migrate data via networks and roads, use transfer services that best fit your requirements, and employ tracking services to gain visibility into the progress of your migrations. AWS also offers the largest ecosystem of partners so that you can work with the service provider of your choice.



    Largest Partner Ecosysytem

    Storage technology and consulting services from familiar solution providers already work with AWS. The AWS Partner Network (APN) includes global Technology and Consulting Partners that specialize in storage-focused solutions and services for a vast range of workloads and use cases. Easily find, buy, deploy, and manage cloud-ready resources in a matter of minutes from AWS Marketplace.

    Backup & Restore for All IT Environments

    AWS offers all the tools and capabilities you need to migrate data into the cloud and build comprehensive backup & restore solutions that are compatible with your IT environment. For on-premises and hybrid data environments, customers can work with the Amazon Partner Network to find partners that seamlessly integrate with AWS tools. See below for sample backup & restore reference architectures built with AWS services.

    On-Premises

    AWS can help protect data managed in your own data centers by backing it up to the cloud. All kinds of customers use the cloud to replace tape, streamline media management and simplify archival processes. Most major backup software vendors integrate direclty with AWS and preserve media catalogs and existing backup jobs. Or, choose the AWS Storage Gateway configuration that best suits your requirements – tape, volume, or file – and augment existing backup processes with Amazon S3, Amazon Glacier or Amazon EBS.


    Hybrid

    Some applications need data both on site and in the cloud at the same time. AWS Storage Gateway is ideal for organizations that want to work with data locally as well as in the cloud. For backups, this means integrating with existing systems and applications using standard storage protocols, while offering a virtually unlimited cloud back-end for big data analytics, archive, disaster or recovery.

    Cloud-Native

    AWS CodeDeploy automates code deployments to any instance, including Amazon EC2 instances and on-premises servers. AWS CodeDeploy makes it easier for you to rapidly release new features, helps you avoid downtime during application deployment, and handles the complexity of updating your applications.

    Backup & Restore Capabilities on AWS

    Tape Replacement

    For many organizations, tape backup is critical for protecting data and applications but remains a fault-prone, resource-intensive, and costly process. To help companies build more resilient and high-performance backup capabilities, AWS offers data migration services, storage services, and partner solutions to improve and replace tape backups, on-premises tape libraries, and offsite physical archiving services. By working with AWS and our partners, organizations are leveraging the durability, scalability, cost efficiencies, flexibility, and automation features of AWS to protect their data while remaining agile in an ever-evolving marketplace.

    Snapshot-Based Data Backup

    Not only does Amazon EBS provide persistent block storage volumes for use with Amazon EC2, it also has backup capabilities. Amazon EBS customers can create snapshots (backups) of any EBS volume. These snapshots are then placed in Amazon S3 to be stored securely and redundantly in multiple Availability Zones. Snapshots are incremental backups, which means that only blocks on the device that have changed after your most recent snapshot are saved. This minimizes the time and costs required to store the snapshots. You can use EBS snapshots to back up large databases as well (often used for databases that are required to run 24/7).


    Disaster Recovery

    When designing backup strategies, organizations must identify the disaster situations that can occur, anticipate the potential impacts, and build comprehensive disaster recovery solutions. Doing so is one of the most important steps to ensuring business continuity during and after events that could negatively impact your operations, financial performance, and brand. To get ahead of disaster events, organizations are using AWS to enable faster disaster recovery of critical IT systems without incurring the infrastructure expense of a second physical site. We support many architectures such as pilot light, warm standby, and hot standby environments.

    Database Backup

    Amazon Relational Database Services (Amazon RDS) makes it easy to set up, operate, and scale a relational database in the cloud. In addition to being cost-efficient, flexible, and scalable, Amazon RDS automates the creation of storage volume snapshots of a database instance. The entire storage volume includes all files, so these snapshots are backing up the entire database instance (not just individual databases). This means you can quickly and easily recover your database to any point in time during the backup retention period.
