Performing Volume Restore
In case a disaster strikes, you can restore corrupted EBS volumes of an EC2 instance from a cloud-native snapshot, snapshot replica or image-level backup. Veeam Backup for AWS allows you to restore EBS volumes to the original location or to a new location.
Note |
Veeam Backup for AWS does not attach restored EBS volumes to any EC2 instances — the volumes are placed to the specified location as standalone EBS volumes. |
How to Perform Volume Restore
To restore EBS volumes of a protected EC2 instance, do the following:
- Check prerequisites and limitations.
- Launch the Volume Restore wizard.
- Select a restore point.
- Specify data retrieval settings for archived backups.
- Specify account settings for restore.
- Choose a restore mode.
- Enable encryption for EBS volumes.
- Specify the restored EBS volume name.
- Specify a restore reason.
- Finish working with the wizard.
