Step 3. Specify IAM Identity
At the Account step of the wizard, choose whether you want to use an IAM role, an AWS account or one-time access keys of an IAM user to allow Veeam Backup for AWS to perform the restore operation. For information on the permissions that the IAM role or IAM user must have to perform the restore operation, see Redshift Serverless Restore IAM Permissions.
Specifying IAM Role
To specify an IAM role to be used for the restore operation, select the IAM role option. By default, Veeam Backup for AWS automatically chooses an IAM role from the same AWS account to which the source Redshift Serverless namespaces belong. You can also choose a role manually — however, keep in mind that the selected role must belong to an AWS account to which you plan to restore Redshift Serverless namespaces.
For an IAM role to be displayed in the list of available roles, it must be added to Veeam Backup for AWS with the Amazon Redshift Serverless Restore operation selected as described in section Adding IAM Roles. If you have not added the necessary IAM role to Veeam Backup for AWS beforehand, you can do it without closing the Redshift Serverless Restore wizard. To do that, click Add and complete the Add IAM Role wizard.
Important |
It is recommended that you check whether the selected IAM role has all the permissions required to perform the operation. If some permissions of the IAM role are missing, the restore operation will fail to complete successfully. To run the IAM role permission check, click Check Permissions and follow the instructions provided in section Checking IAM Role Permissions. |
Specifying AWS Account
To specify an AWS account to be used for the restore operation, select the Organization account option. Since Veeam Backup for AWS does not support cross-account recovery of Redshift Serverless namespaces, Veeam Backup for AWS automatically chooses the AWS account to which the source Redshift Serverless namespaces belong and the organization identity (either an entire AWS Organization or a scope of organizational units) that contains the account.
For an organization identity to be displayed in the list of available identities, it must be added to Veeam Backup for AWS as described in section Adding AWS Organizations. For an AWS account to be displayed in the list of available accounts, it must be created in the the selected organization identity as described in AWS Documentation.
Specifying One-Time Access Keys
To specify one-time access keys to be used for the restore operation, select the Temporary access keys option and use the Access key and Secret key fields to provide the access key ID and the secret access key. The selected IAM role must belong to an AWS account where the source namespaces reside.
Note |
Veeam Backup for AWS does not store one-time access keys in the configuration database. |
