VAL to backup EFS

[Andanet]

Hi,
actually, for our client, we have a native backup for EFS on AWS in a backup Vaults without lock feature that's not supported.
Client wants an immutable backup.
Can I approach a backup mounting EFS as a new FS on a Linux instance and using Linux Agent to write on a S3 bucket with object lock enabled?
Did you see some limitations?
Has anyone experience about this configuration?
Thanks

Hi Antonio,

In theory, if EFS is attached as an NFS share, you could potentially run a file‑level backup from the Linux machine and write it to an S3 bucket with Object Lock enabled.
However, this setup has not been tested on our side, so I can’t confirm its behavior or possible limitations in real deployments. The exact feasibility really depends on the way EFS is mounted.

Thanks Rovshan for your reply. I know the setup is not tested but logically is correct. I'm thinking is possible to backup as a NAS file backup too. I'll explain my idea to the client and if will be implemented I'll share here.
