AWS EC2 runs core cloud workloads that scale on demand, but native snapshots alone don't give teams flexible retention, cross-platform recovery, or a single view across large, multi-region fleets. A dedicated backup and recovery layer keeps a portable, indexed copy of every instance, so teams can meet retention needs, contain cloud storage cost, and recover quickly when something goes wrong.
Protect EC2 instances directly through AWS platform APIs and snapshot technology, independent of native snapshot retention limits.
Manage backup jobs for instances spread across regions and accounts from one console instead of separate per-region policies.
Restore a full instance, pull back individual files, or move a workload to another platform depending on what the incident needs.
Protect more than EC2 instance data by preserving the configuration and resources required to bring workloads back online. Keep essential instance settings, attached volumes, and related metadata together so protected workloads remain usable when they are needed.
Standardize complex protection and disaster recovery procedures with predefined workflows. Coordinate multiple instances and dependent resources in the required order, reducing manual intervention and making large-scale recovery operations more consistent and repeatable.
Go beyond checking whether a backup job completed successfully. Automatically verify that selected EC2 backups can be used as expected through scheduled validation and test operations, helping identify unusable recovery points before an actual incident occurs.
Account for the relationships between EC2 instances and the resources that support them. Coordinate the protection and restoration of dependent components such as storage, networking, and application resources to help bring the complete service back online instead of recovering an isolated instance.
Maintain copies of critical EC2 workloads across AWS Regions to prepare for regional outages and infrastructure failures. Keep geographically separated protection points available so workloads can be brought back in an alternative Region when the primary environment is disrupted.
Separate backup data from production AWS accounts to reduce the impact of accidental deletion, compromised credentials, or account-level failures. Protect EC2 workloads across accounts and maintain independent copies that remain accessible when the source account is unavailable.
Vinchin protects AWS EC2 with agentless, image-based backup using AWS platform APIs and snapshot technology. No backup agent needs to be installed inside EC2 instances, while automated backup jobs can run according to predefined schedules with minimal administrative effort.
Vinchin supports full, incremental, and differential backups for AWS EC2. You can combine different backup methods according to workload requirements, data change rates, and desired backup frequency to build a protection strategy that fits different EC2 environments.
Vinchin reduces backup windows and storage consumption through data deduplication, compression, Vinchin BitDetector, and SpeedKit. Incremental backup further limits the amount of data transferred, while bandwidth throttling lets you control transfer rates globally or for individual backup jobs to minimize the impact on production workloads.
Vinchin provides multiple ways to recover AWS EC2 data, including full VM restore, file-level restore, and agentless cross-platform restore. You can choose the appropriate recovery method based on the scope of the failure, from recovering individual files to restoring an entire workload.
Vinchin helps maintain additional copies of AWS EC2 backups at remote sites or in the cloud. By combining offsite copy and cloud disaster recovery with the 3-2-1 backup strategy, organizations can retain accessible backup data even when the primary environment is affected by hardware failures, disasters, or other disruptions.
Vinchin provides a unified web-based console for managing AWS EC2 backup and recovery jobs. Real-time data visualization, job alerts, and scheduled reports help administrators monitor protection status, identify failed operations, and manage backup activities from a single interface.
