Protecting your data - FSx for ONTAP

Protecting your data

Beyond automatically replicating your file system's data to ensure high durability, with Amazon FSx you also have the following options that you can use to further protect your data:

  • Native Amazon FSx volume backups that support your backup retention and compliance needs within Amazon FSx.

  • Using AWS Backup to implement a centrally managed, automated backup and retention strategy across multiple AWS services.

  • Snapshots that enable your users to easily undo unwanted file changes, by restoring files to previous versions.

  • Use SnapLock to create write once, read many (WORM) storage volumes to prevent file modification or deletion once committed, for a specified retention period.

  • FlexCache volumes offer storage efficient, cost effective, high-performance data replication for read-heavy workloads with data that remains largely unchanged.

  • Use SnapMirror to create scheduled, automatic file system replication to a second file system for data protection and disaster recovery.
