EFS Replication across accounts

Question

Hello,

As I know, we can create a replication in any EFS to replicate the data to another EFS in another region.

Is this approach available for Replication across accounts ?

If not, what the best practice to replicate EFS accross accounts?

Thanks

Hi, @Maan

You have several options.

First, the EFS backup function and native replication function do not support cross-account.

If your multiple AWS accounts are in the same AWS Organizaitons, you can use the AWS Backup cross-account feature.

If you're in another organization, you can use the AWS DataSync cross-account Transfer feature.
