Step 5. Specify Processing Settings

[This step applies only if you have enabled image-level backups at the Targets step of the wizard]

At the Processing Options step of the wizard, select a database account whose credentials will be used to authenticate against databases of the DB instances added to the backup scope. For an account to be displayed in the list of available accounts, it must be added to Veeam Backup for AWS as described in section Adding Database Accounts. If you have not added an account to Veeam Backup for AWS beforehand, you can do it without closing the Add RDS Policy wizard. To add an account, click Add and complete the Add Account wizard.

By default, the selected account will be used to access all databases of the DB instances added to the backup policy. You can also granularly specify credentials that Veeam Backup for AWS will use to connect to specific DB instances. To do that, set the Customize credentials toggle to On, choose a DB instance for which you want to specify the credentials and click Edit Credentials.
