Veeam Backup for AWS uses RDS Backup IAM roles to perform the following operations:
- To enumerate resources added to a backup session.
- To create cloud-native snapshots of RDS resources.
- To create snapshot replicas, and so on.
Note |
The same scope of permissions is required for IAM roles used to perform backup operations automatically as described in section Creating RDS Backup Policies, and IAM roles used to perform backup operations manually as described in section Creating RDS Snapshots Manually. |
To perform backup operations, IAM roles specified in the RDS backup settings must be granted the following permissions:
{ "Version": "2012-10-17", "Statement": [ { "Action": [ "ec2:DescribeAvailabilityZones", "ec2:DescribeRegions", "events:DeleteRule", "events:DescribeRule", "events:ListTargetsByRule", "events:PutRule", "events:PutTargets", "events:RemoveTargets", "iam:GetContextKeysForPrincipalPolicy", "iam:ListAccountAliases", "iam:SimulatePrincipalPolicy", "kms:CreateGrant", "kms:DescribeKey", "kms:GetKeyPolicy", "kms:ListAliases", "kms:ListKeys", "rds:AddTagsToResource", "rds:CopyDBClusterSnapshot", "rds:CopyDBSnapshot", "rds:CreateDBClusterSnapshot", "rds:CreateDBSnapshot", "rds:DeleteDBClusterSnapshot", "rds:DeleteDBSnapshot", "rds:DescribeDBClusters", "rds:DescribeDBClusterSnapshots", "rds:DescribeDBInstances", "rds:DescribeDBSnapshots", "rds:DescribeDBSubnetGroups", "rds:ListTagsForResource", "rds:ModifyDBClusterSnapshotAttribute", "rds:ModifyDBSnapshotAttribute", "rds:RemoveTagsFromResource", "sns:CreateTopic", "sns:DeleteTopic", "sns:ListSubscriptionsByTopic", "sns:ListTopics", "sns:SetTopicAttributes", "sns:Subscribe", "sns:Unsubscribe", "sqs:CreateQueue", "sqs:DeleteMessage", "sqs:DeleteQueue", "sqs:ListQueues", "sqs:ReceiveMessage", "sqs:SetQueueAttributes" ], "Resource": "*", "Effect": "Allow" } ] } |
