Backup success rates have largely returned to normal operating levels and remain stable across SaaS Protection environments. The vast majority of customer accounts are processing backups successfully, while ongoing optimization efforts continue to further improve consistency across the platform. As part of these improvements, backup cadence has now been standardized across all Microsoft 365 workload types and environments to three backups per day. Engineering teams will continue to monitor platform performance closely to ensure sustained stability and reliability.

We are providing an update on the disruption affecting the Middle East (UAE) (me-central-1) Region. After a thorough assessment, we have determined that we are unable to restore access to the resources and data hosted exclusively in the mec1-az2 Availability Zone. We continue to work on recovering regional resources, as well as zonal resources hosted in the other affected Availability Zones (mec1-az1 and mec1-az3). Since the disruption began in March, most customers have been able to re-establish their operations in other Regions by restoring backups or copying data that remained accessible. AWS Support remains available to help customers who need assistance moving their applications to alternate Regions. We remain committed to supporting our customers in the UAE. We are working on replacing the affected infrastructure and will provide an update on the restoration of our services in the coming months. We have notified the relevant authorities and continue to work with them toward that goal.
