I have a windows EC2 server that I need to implement file level backup. I have the product Backup Assist. In my previous server, I used to backup to a NAS RAID system. Now, we are using Amazon EC2 instance and I am wondering where I can backup to? I feel if I attach an S3 (?) storage drive that I could backup to this drive. If the server fails, wouldn't I be able to detach the S3 drive and attach it to another server to recover files? Any suggestions appreciated, but please be very clear, I am not an expert with servers or Amazon.
Thanks!
You have 3 options.
1. Mount EBS volumes and use them for backup. EBS volumes work like SAN storage and must be unmounted and remounted to use the backup,
2. Use EFS volumes. Amazon EFS is NAS as a service.
3. Use a complete backup cloud service, like JungleDisk or Cloudberry.
