Failure and Recovery

Even though by default, the EC2 Instance on which Veeam Backup for AWS is installed is backed up using snapshots, it is recommended that you regularly perform backup of the EC2 instance that hosts the product and perform backup of the configuration database that stores data collected from Veeam Backup for AWS. If the Veeam Backup for AWS fails for some reason, you can restore it from the backup. To learn how to perform configuration backup for backup appliances, see Performing Configuration Backup and Restore.

For application related errors and issues, see the Veeam Knowledge Base or consider opening a support ticket.
