Step 5. Configure Target Instance Settings
At the Instance step of the wizard, specify the target AWS Region where a DB instance will host the restored databases, and choose the target DB instance.
Important |
Due to AWS technical limitations, the first backup session running after restoring databases of the DB instance to the source AWS Region will take more time to complete than usual. |
You must also specify credentials of a database account that Veeam Backup for AWS will use to connect to the target DB instance. To do that, click the link in the Credentials field. In the Configure credentials window, choose whether you want to provide temporary credentials or select an existing database account. For an account to be displayed in the list of available accounts, it must be added to Veeam Backup for AWS as described in section Adding Database Accounts. If you have not added an account beforehand, click Add and complete the Add Account wizard.
Tip |
By default, Veeam Backup for AWS restores each database with the same name as the original database. If a database with this name already exists in the production infrastructure, a default suffix is added to the database name automatically. You can also specify a new name for each restored database manually. To do that, select the database in the Database settings section and click Rename. |
