Your giant recovery button for AWS
Custom policies & schedules
Configure what to back up and when;
define backup targets, set backup
frequency and retention periods
Restore Granularity
Recover anything from a single
file to your entire environment.
VPC Capture and clone
Configure regular backups of VPC
settings and recover to any AWS
region
Volumes vs. VMs
N2WS backs up on an instance
level, including security groups

Optimize data lifecycle management
Stay compliant for less
Store data for as long as you need
while paying a third of the cost.
Cost Explorer
View EBS snapshot costs per
policy. Visualize how your storage
costs change over time.
Resource Control
Flip the switch on resources on-
demand (or on a schedule) for
instant savings.
Archive to S3/Glacier
Save big on your AWS storage bill
by copying EBS snapshots to a
low-cost S3/S3 Glacier repository.
22. CloudChomp Confidential 2019
DRY RUN: Configure your recover scenario
prior to restore and be notified of any potential
configuration failure
Simplest way to validate DR: Recovery Scenarios
Execute pre and post backup scripts, define order
of recovery targets, enable a worker configuration
test for S3 repositories
Automate a pre-defined recovery plan and
carry out ‘bulk’ DR drills recovering multiple
targets with ONE CLICK
