To start working with Veeam Backup for AWS, perform a number of steps for its configuration:
- Add IAM roles to access AWS services and resources.
- Add user accounts to control access to Veeam Backup for AWS.
- Configure backup repositories.
This step applies if you plan to protect EC2 instances with image-level backups, to perform EFS indexing operations, to back up Veeam Backup for AWS configuration and to keep additional copies of Amazon VPC configuration backups in Amazon S3.
If you do not configure settings for worker instances, Veeam Backup for AWS will use the default settings of AWS Regions where worker instances will be launched.
Note |
Even after you add IAM roles that manage your AWS resources and configure all the necessary settings, Veeam Backup for AWS will not populate the list of resources on the Resources page — unless you create backup policies and specify regions where the AWS resources belong, as described in section Performing Backup. |
