Step 7. Specify Instance Settings
[This step applies only if you have selected the Restore to new location, or with different settings option at the Restore Mode step of the wizard, or the original Amazon machine image (AMI) that was used to launch one of the source instances has not been found]
At the Settings step of the wizard, do the following for each EC2 instance added to the restore session:
- To specify a new name for the restored EC2 instance, select the source instance from the list and click Rename. In the Instance name window, specify the name and click Apply.
- To change the instance type for the restored EC2 instance, select the source instance from the list and click Edit. In the Instance type window, select the necessary instance type and click Apply. For the list of all existing instance types, see AWS Documentation.
- [This step applies only if the original AMI that was used to launch the source instance has not been found] To specify an AMI that will be used to launch the restored EC2 instance, select the source instance from the list and click Change AMI. In the Instance settings window, select an AMI that will be used to perform the restore operation.
By default, Veeam Backup for AWS automatically selects an AMI whose configuration is similar to the configuration of the restored instance and allows you to change the selected AMI if required.
