Target customers: users who use RDS instances that run SQL Server 2017 EE on RDS Cluster Edition. Features released: ApsaraDB RDS for SQL Server supports the cross-region backup feature. After you enable the feature, the backup files of the RDS instance are automatically replicated from the source region to the destination region for regulatory compliance or disaster recovery. You can use the backup files in the destination region to manage and restore the data of the original RDS instance. If a cross-region backup is complete, you can restore the data of the original RDS instance from the generated cross-region backup file to an existing RDS instance or to a new RDS instance that resides in the destination region. Cross-region backups do not affect default backups. Both backups can co-exist.
