EC2 Data

To view and manage backed-up EC2 instance data, navigate to Protected Data > EC2. The EC2 tab displays information on all protected EC2 instances and allows you to remove restore points of the instances if you no longer need them.

For each backed-up EC2 instance, Veeam Backup for AWS creates a record in the configuration database with the following set of properties:

  • Instance — a name of an EC2 instance.
  • Policy — a name of the backup policy that processed the EC2 instance.
  • Restore Points— a number of restore points created for the EC2 instance.

To view the list of restore points, click the link in the Restore Points column. The Available Restore Points window will display information on each restore point, including the following: the date when the restore point was created, the type of the restore point, the storage class of the backup repository where the restore point is stored, and the configured retention policy settings (D — daily, W — weekly, M — monthly or Y — yearly).

  • Latest Restore Point — the date and time of the latest restore point that was created for the EC2 instance.
  • Backup Size — the size of all backups created for the selected EC2 instance stored in standard repositories.
  • Archive size — the size of all backups created for the selected EC2 instance stored in archive backup repositories.
  • Region — an AWS Region in which the EC2 instance resides.
  • Data Retrieval — shows whether any of the archived restore points of the EC2 instance is retrieved.
  • File-level Recovery URL — a link to the file-level recovery browser.

The link appears when the file-level recovery session is started for the selected EC2 instance. The link contains a DNS name of the worker instance hosting the file-level recovery browser and authentication information used to access this worker instance.

  • Operating System — an operating system running on the EC2 instance.
  • IAM Role — an IAM Role used to back up the EC2 instance.
  • AWS Account — an AWS account where the EC2 instance belongs.
  • Instance ID — an AWS ID of the EC2 instance.
