# Protecting your data
<a name="protecting-data"></a>

Beyond automatically replicating your file system's data to ensure [high durability](high-availability-AZ.md), 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.
