Configuring Backup Settings

To specify backup vaults used to store backups of the selected EFS file systems, do the following:

1. In the Backups section of the Targets step of the wizard, click Choose backup vaults.
2. In the Choose backup vaults window, for each AWS Region included in the policy, specify a backup vault to save and organize file system backups. To do that:

1. Select an AWS Region and click Edit.
2. [Applies only if you have chosen the Organization option at the Sources step of the wizard] In the Edit Backup Vault window, from the Tag key and Tag value drop-down lists, select a key and value of the AWS tag associated with the necessary backup vaults. The backup vault under the specified tag must be created in each AWS account within the AWS Organization or organizational units added to the backup policy.

For a tag key and value to be displayed in the list of available tag components, it must be added to the backup vaults when creating them in the AWS Backup console, as described in AWS Documentation.

3. [Applies only if you have chosen the Account option at the Sources step of the wizard] In the Edit Backup Vault window, from the Backup vault drop-down list, select the necessary backup vault.

For a backup vault to be displayed in the list of available backup vaults, it must be created in the AWS Backup console as described in AWS Documentation. If no custom backup vaults exist in the selected AWS Region, the list will contain the default backup vault only.

4. Click Save.

3. To save changes made to the backup policy settings, click Apply.
