Walkthrough 7: Copying a backup to another Amazon Web Services Region

With Amazon FSx, you can copy an existing backup within the same Amazon Web Services account to another Amazon Web Services Region (a cross-Region backup copy) or to the same Amazon Web Services Region (an in-Region backup copy).

The following procedure guides you through the process of creating a copy of a backup within the same Amazon Web Services account. Before you can create this backup copy, you must have an existing backup. For more information, see Working with backups.

  1. Open the Amazon FSx console at https://console.amazonaws.cn/fsx/.

  2. In the navigation pane, choose Backups.

  3. In the Backups table, choose the backup that you want to copy.

  4. Choose Copy backup. Doing so opens the Copy backup wizard.

  6. (Optional) Select Copy Tags to copy tags from the source backup to the destination backup. If you select Copy Tags and also add tags at step 8, all the tags are merged.
