Step 5. Configure Backup Target Settings

By default, backup policies create only cloud-native snapshots of processed instances. At the Targets step of the wizard, you can enable the following additional data protection scenarios:

Instruct Veeam Backup for AWS to replicate cloud-native snapshots to other AWS accounts or AWS Regions.
Instruct Veeam Backup for AWS to create image-level backups.

Important

Creating image-level backups is supported for Microsoft SQL Server and PostgreSQL DB instances only. For the list of supported PostgreSQL versions, see Protecting RDS Resources.
