Cloud-native Workload
Safeguard Amazon EC2 Instances and EBS Volumes
Recover quickly from outages, ransomware, and operational failures with immutable, air-gapped backups.
Infrastructure can be rebuilt. Compromised data cannot.
Faster recovery
Versus native EBS snapshot restore for large-volume workloads.
Snapshots don’t protect against compromise
If attackers access your account, they can delete recovery points .
Air-gapped, immutable backups
Data is isolated outside your AWS account boundary.
What is Amazon EC2 and EBS?
Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) is AWS’s virtual server service that lets you run applications in the cloud with scalable compute capacity.
Amazon EBS (Elastic Block Store) provides persistent block storage volumes that attach to EC2 instances, storing operating systems, applications, and data.
Together, EC2 and EBS form the foundation for running stateful workloads such as databases, enterprise applications, and virtual machines on AWS.
Why Amazon EC2 and EBS require dedicated tools
While native snapshots provide basicresilience, business-critical EC2 instances and EBS volumes often require stronger cyber resilience, longer retention, and faster recovery from outages and ransomware.
Key Factors
-
EC2 instances and EBS volumes support mission-critical applications that demand rapid recovery.
-
Ransomware, accidental deletion, and configuration errors can disrupt multiple workloads simultaneously.
-
Native snapshot capabilities can limit long-term retention, cyber resilience, and cross-account recovery.
Resulting Operational Impact
-
Longer recovery times
for critical applications during outages and cyber incidents. -
Increased operational effort
to manage backups, restores, and disaster recovery. -
Greater business risk
from extended downtime, data compromise, and operational disruption.
How CloudRecover Supports Amazon EC2 and EBS Backup and Recovery
Cusotmer testimonials
Cyber resilient businesses safeguard their cloud data with CloudRecover
“As an institution with over 100 years of history and 100+ programs, we have a large data estate with web apps, media, and data stores. We chose Clumio for its managed backup SaaS that protects our EC2 and S3 data from ransomware and provides visibility for compliance reporting.”
“Clumio does not consume any resources, and it does not affect our infrastructure. Yet it grows as much as we need it to. As much as our data grows, Clumio will serve that purpose. ”
“We are saving at least one full-time employee by using Clumio.”
“Using AWS Storage Lens, we confirmed that backups through Clumio were 66.7% cheaper than what we were paying previously. That validation came quickly, and it accelerated our internal approval to move forward. ”

Frequently Asked Questions
How does CloudRecover safeguard Amazon EC2 instances and EBS volumes?
CloudRecoversafeguardsAmazon EC2 instances and EBS volumes with immutable, air-gapped backups stored outside your production AWS account. It uses cloud-native APIs to help support resilient recovery from operational failures, ransomware, and data corruption.
How is EC2 and EBS backup different from traditional virtual machine backup?
Cloud environments like AWS use dynamic, API-driven infrastructure where traditional on-premises backup approachesdon’tscale well. CloudRecoveris built for AWS workloads,leveragingAPIs such as Amazon EBS Direct APIs to deliver scalable, policy-drivenresilienceandsimplified management across EC2 and EBS assets.
Can CloudRecover restore Amazon EC2 instances and EBS volumes quickly after an incident?
Yes. CloudRecoversupports fast, consistent recovery workflows for EC2 instances and EBS volumes without requiring pre-provisioned recovery infrastructure. Backup tiers include options for file-level and instance/volume restores based on your recovery needs.
Does CloudRecover support application-wide or granular recovery for EC2/EBS workloads?
Yes. CloudRecoverenables both application-wide recovery of EC2 instances (including attached EBS volumes) and granular file- or directory-level restores from backups.
Is CloudRecover suitable for regulated workloads?
Yes. CloudRecoversupports policy-driven retention, audit visibility, governance controls, and immutable backup storage – helping organizations address regulatory and compliance requirements in AWS environments.
