Performing FSx Backup

One backup policy can be used to process one or more FSx file systems within one AWS account. The scope of data that you can protect in an AWS account is limited by permissions of an IAM role that is specified in the backup policy settings.

Note

If you plan to receive email notifications on backup policy results, configure email notification settings before creating an FSx backup policy. For more information, see Configuring Global Notification Settings.

To schedule data protection tasks to run automatically, create backup policies. For each protected FSx file systems, you can also take a backup manually when needed.
