Veeam Backup for AWS uses EC2 Backup Policy IAM roles to perform the following operations:
- To enumerate resources added to a backup policy.
- To create cloud-native snapshots of EC2 instances protected by the policy.
- To create EBS volumes and attaching the volumes to worker instances when performing image-level backup.
- To create snapshot replicas, and so on.
To perform these operations, IAM roles specified in the backup policy settings must be granted the following permissions:
