AWS Backup enhances Amazon S3 backup copy performance

AWS Backup enhances S3 backup copy performance with up to 8x faster operations for buckets with millions of objects and low change rates.

• Enhanced change tracking eliminates need to scan all objects in destination account or Region
• Records object events as they occur for faster copy operations and reduced processing time
• Automatically applies to all new S3 backup cross-account and cross-Region copy jobs
• Available at no additional cost in all AWS Regions supporting S3 backup copying

This improvement significantly reduces time required to copy S3 backups across accounts and AWS Regions.
