Note

Although you can specify multiple nodes (EC2 instances) to be backed up
mijin Catapult(v.2) can recover everything from blockchain data on a single node, so regular backups are no problem if only one node is backed up, thus reducing costs.
*1 If the destination region is the same region, it can be recovered at Restore from a backed-up snapshot.
Separate regions can also be used for disaster recovery and other anti-disaster measures.
