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. To get started, select a logically air-gapped vault as your primary backup target in the AWS Backup console, API, or CLI. For more information, visit the AWS Backup product page and documentation.
