This feature can help you meet your cross-Region compliance and regulatory requirements, and to develop a disaster recovery and business continuity plan. You can restore tables from a few megabytes to hundreds of terabytes of data, with no impact on the performance or availability of your production applications.
You can restore your DynamoDB table data across AWS Regions in the AWS Management Console, the DynamoDB API, or the AWS Command Line Interface. You pay only for the data you transfer out of the source Region and for restoring backups as new tables in destination Regions.
