Druva CloudRanger allows you to import existing AWS backups into a backup policy. You can now manage all your backups within specified retention schedules to ensure SLA compliance and reduce storage costs. Backups can be imported, regardless of whether they are tagged using specific tags in your AWS environment.
You can also use this feature to delete old AWS snapshots within a preferred schedule, whether the snapshots were created on Druva CloudRanger or not.
📝 Note
Druva CloudRanger currently supports import of AMIs as well as snapshots of EBS, RDS, and Redshift instances into a backup policy.
