AWS Backup improves Aurora DSQL multi-Region restore workflow

AWS Backup now supports an improved restore workflow for Amazon Aurora DSQL multi-Region clusters, simplifying recovery for distributed SQL databases. This enhancement lets customers initiate restoration from a single region within the multi-Region cluster, while AWS Backup manages the entire process across all regions.\n AWS Backup now automatically identifies backup copies in peer regions, restores backups across all regions, and links restored clusters to complete multi-Region cluster creation. Customers get faster, more reliable restoration for Aurora DSQL multi-Region clusters, improving business continuity and recovery objectives. Note: Customers are still required to create backup copies in all peer regions. The improved restore workflow for Aurora DSQL multi-Region clusters is available in all AWS Regions where Aurora DSQL multi-Region clusters are available. To learn more about this feature and how it can simplify your backup and restore processes for Aurora DSQL multi-Region clusters, visit the AWS Backup documentation and the blog post. You can start using this feature today through the AWS Backup Management Console, AWS Command Line Interface (CLI), or AWS SDKs.
