Never miss a server again

When you have lots of AWS servers in many regions making sure you setup backups for every single instance can be a pain, the last thing you want todo is miss a server

We have been using SnapShooter’s AWS backups for a couple of weeks now, and it’s fantastic! It was much easier to set up and manage the AWS backups from SnapShooter than it was to use the new AWS Backup service, which requires you manually pasting in instance ids 😱!
