Cross-Account and Cross-Region Backups with AWS Backup (and Friends)

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-03-05 15:40:14

Reading Time: 30 minutes In today’s edition of “don’t trust LLMs”, we learn that despite what AI tells you, AWS Backup doesn’t support Cross-Account and Cross-Region backups. It supports Cross-Account copying and Cross-Region copying, but apparently not together. As part of Masset’s Data Protection and Disaster Recovery policies, we determined that having backups separated by both region and OU account was a good idea. This follows fairly closely to AWS’s recommended best practice of using a s

Half a year in, it seems like Mark Zuckerberg's right-wing turn — which came complete with a woo-woo midlife rebrand — is still going strong. Faced with the return of Donald Trump to the Oval Office, Zuckerberg conveniently molted out of his pseudo-progressive skin and into a darling of the manosphere.
